FWIW: My recruiter said to expect a Late Fall/Early Winter class (not holding breath). I'm a 5/25 CJO.


Is anyone able to give insight on my FNG new hire CA questions below?

Will CA vacancies be available to bid for new hires?
Is there a lock period for awards? I vaugely remember hearing 12 months.
When can a new hire get an upgrade class, if awarded an FO position during indoc bid?
If a new hire is awarded a CA position, is he liable to be downgraded to FO if a more senior pilot bids for that CA position later?
Can the most junior CA lose a CA award and be downgraded? If so, how often will that happen, passuming no major economic events.

I'm very grateful to be in FO CJO pool. I'm not looking past anything. I just want to go to the indoc bid informed. Thanks!
