[QUOTE=TonyWilliams;530722]What's the point? If he "shouldn't have made it", then why did he 1.5 years ago? What if he had never upgraded? Then he'd be "unworthy" for 20 years? What if he tranistioned to another airframe, and failed? He goes back to his previous "unworthy" seat. If you're suggesting that SkW just passes everybody through new hire, you're sadly mistaken.

And based on your suggestion, since I failed upgrade, I should just pack my flying bags and find a new career. Like you said, not everybody is cut out for this job.

Buddy, I know its frustrating, but you knew the risk going into upgrade in an airplane you hadn't flown before. I'm not saying I agree with the policy, but you can't blame somebody else when you knew the rules going in. I've got my bid in for EMB CA as a CRJ only FO. It does make me a little nervous, but its a risk I'd like to take for career progression. Good luck
