For all this shade being thrown on New Hire Captains, I wonder if any of them have caused any kind of incident.

Let’s not forget that new hire captains happened because FOs across the seniority list refused to upgrade with their combined experience. Yes new hire captains may be opportunist, but that’s the American dream man. They still needed all the FAA reqs.

a 1000 SIC hour captain at the regionals and a 1000 hour SIC captain at UA are still both flying United customers.
