Burn,

I am trying to think how this is horrible. First officers get kicked back to the line so that LCA(Captains) can take their place. Therefore they will need more Captains throughout the company as more LCA's are needed to do sim work and line work. If that is not what you are stating correct me.

I prefer to see all training done by SLI one way or another. We have some great DGS guys, but we have been lifted by the early retirement group from the earlier part of last decade. Those guys are going to hang it up sooner or later, and who are they going to hire? Not the caliber of pilots we have working for DGS now.
