I think you are missing the point. Not only does it subjugate crew positions, but it also is happening when dozens of guys are being pushed out of their captain positions. Bad policy that has nothing to do with how great the guy is or not. Why are we putting someone who can't come close to holding captain in the left seat "to stay current" and allow him to give checkrides while people with several years as a captain are being excess ed?
