I don't think that is the case. Someone with the time to upgrade is completing FO initial and SOE. If their seniority and previous time qualifies them for a CA position in that timeframe, then they are awarded as such and begin CA training thereafter. The training syllabus for upgrades is a repeat of initial minus the indoc. However I don't believe it is allowed to "double up" the courses just because someone has the time.

I just read that about the sim update, all I saw was it is supposed to take place in 2016. Did you hear they were going to do it in Jan 16'
Our training program requires all new hires to complete initial training first than a separate captain upgrade. maybe one of the old timers knows if there is DEC syllabus?

Lose 3-5 Captains a month to the flow. Add a RJ every month next year sometimes even two that means they need to run about 15-20 upgrades a month next year. That's probably at the least! Today we had some more Captains just get there email about there Feb. 16th class date at American.
