The recent supplemental saw upgrade on BOS 190....go as high as 4800ish....which is less than a year.
How many of these individuals know they will be displaced to FO on some other equipment next summer?, (which is why it went so junior).
How many of them will just be at a legacy prior to training it doesn't matter?
How may of them will try and get out of their upgrade on the annual?

If you live in BOS and have a flexible schedule then why not?

What’s the point of all of this? It’s like you’re fishing for stuff to be negative about.

MEL’s with route restrictions etc. All while being pressured by someone sitting in an office chair to get the job done while being hours to days behind schedule. You need to be able to completely operate on your own with limited resources available. Now throw a guy/girl in that seat with 1 year of airline experience and 2000TT… It’s not a simple as throwing on a new set of epaulets.

same here. he's probably one of those guys that then complains about outside forces "eroding the captain's authority". the call is coming from inside the house.
