Yes the new hire won’t know how to manipulate DECS as well, yes the new hire will not know where the “Chief Pilots Office” is unless they ask the question.
Here’s a question for you, who would you rather have in the front of the aircraft when your family is in the back and they just departed In hard IFR into an ICE storm and the crew has the Autopilot Written up?

Great question..
I would guess it has to do with helping the company solve a problem via a crutch as apposed to fixing the underlying issue.

I think Shorter flow time and better Captain rates would motivate upgrades as well as jumpstart off the street hiring

I agree man! I came here with the intent to be an FO until I could hold DFW as a captain.
But I hear LGA is nice this time of year...
