I believe they were the last 200 class in march. The waited very long for the oral and now the sim . The 2 classes ahead started and finished sim on the 700 by end end of june. I am waiting for differences, but I assume it will be a while since all the captain's upgrade happening plus this class being schedule on the 2 of July will keep the sim busy in Cincinnati.

While I can understand someone bypassing upgrade to avoid reserve, you are way off the mark if you think there is a substantial difference in qol between an fo at the top of the fo seniority list in round 1 and a captain at the bottom of the captain seniority list in round 1; both have access to the SAP and that is all you need. This is partly why the SAP and qol control at PSA are largely unparalleled - it is almost irrelevant if you are last or first on the list so long as you can SAP. The only advantage the fo would have is in getting a better original line and some easier seniority based swaps.

In my mind, if you were a pretty high seniority FO (by pretty high, I mean 1.5yrs like mentioned before) and you upgraded to CA, as long as you were a round 1 line holder, you could SAP down to 65 and have a bunch of time off, and with the higher pay, still make decent money. Provided money isnt a major motivator.
