I second the street captain thoughts. We have plenty of currently qualified pilots on our seniority list who could hold Captain if need be. I still have no idea why they hired Q street captains. They could have had an open bid for Q captains with the minimums listed and the most senior bidders who were qualified should have gotten it. The first class in training averaged 2000TT+ for the reason that we could upgrade if needed within a year or so and then they hired guys off the street. Alpa is coming....
I would be peeved if they hired saab street captains as well because myself as well as probably 100 qualified guys above me would bid it in a second.
