I would be surprised if they hired direct to an FO seat (...unless it's a vacant FDA FO seat).
Direct hire to 727 or 757 FO seat would trigger passover pay for many that they have worked hard to eliminate.
Not sure they are going to try that experiment again.
YMMV.
No passover pay issue for at least 1 year, as first year pay for all seats junior to WB FO is the same. So direct hire to the 72 or 75 FO won't initially be a problem.
