Essentially they will serve as FO for 12 months then upgrade to CA.
The company has stated that no one filling CA vacancies from the last vacancy bid would be trained under 9-K. They can't just arbitrarily change their minds and waive it later down the road.

There is a whole slew of contractual stuff that has to happened to the 17k pilots senior to you before that can happen.
Nope, no 100 hours of OE for any of these captain slots.. They are not being training under 9-K which is why they have to have 500 hrs and be off probation meaning the meet the normal requirements to upgrade.. hence no 100 hrs of OE required.
