BTW, I thought you were exaggerating. Just looked at the final practice bid (which should be closest to next Monday's reality). Wow, new hires indeed to M57C. That's ****ing awesome! Good on them!

They already think we are super-human and don't need the same rest that our pax brothers get. So, brand new 757 cargo-carved-out captains should be no big deal.

I think it went to May 2015 Date of Hire.
Delta has 2 year Captains on the MD-88 in NYC from what I've been told.
By the time this trains out, he/she will be on property 3 years. Pre 9/11, upgrade times like this were more common.
Besides, in 2005 when I got hired, Captain was going 4.5 years on the 727.
Great to see this sort of movement! Great to see this sort of movement industry wide! Been a long time coming!

I completely disagree with that statement and look forward to flying with them.
I think those of us who wrote 'new hires' are aware they are not in Basic Indoc today. Technically, you are correct sir Walrus. But, come on man, less than a year on property - they might as well be new-hires considering the stagnation here in the last decade (weren't NB CA awards in 2010-2014-ish, guys with 10+ years on property?).
Of course, this was still just a practice bid. Might it even go even more junior on the final bid?

Make sure to get your shots before heading to Memphis?

Really?! Really?! Like we have never had a position of command prior to FedEx? Most of us have all been Captains at other airlines, or AC commanders at some point. I'll give you that a small few might not have had the opportunity for upgrade, but we all have the capability, otherwise, we would not have been hired.
Annoys the crap out of me when I fly with a guy that talks to me like I've never flown an airplane before. Guess my 11k hours and prior LCA job just don't count here.
