edit:It would be a little less then that because I didn't take into account the 76 seniority list. But conservatively people with less then 1 year seniority could be awarded a captain bid. When they get through training with the backlog and need to hire more FO's is anyone's guess though.

I know you were hired about a year ago, where does that put you number-wise on the fo list?

You wouldn't see me with anything close to what you described, and hopefully that leaves me in the majority.

When new FO's are sending text's during lineup and running the lineup checklist or turning other pilots in for using VS when that was the clearance, I'm not sure (at least those two guys) that they're interested in mentoring. They've got other things in mind.
