I’d have to think that’s not enough to start forcing upgrades in new hire class. Unless they really don’t want to deal with the uncertainty of how many pilots fresh off probation will take the immediate available upgrade.
They conceivably could be 18 months out (vacancy good for 120 days, given to a NH who starts mid-march 2024, goes to training mid-march 2025 and gets off IOE summer 2025)
And no, they really don't want to deal with the uncertainty ... that was the point of the new contract
