They could in theory junior man people to CA, I don't think any rule says they cant. They would if they had to.

Then the lady who asked about future acquisitions can’t help to think they have been on APC reading the RAH/TSA rumors.

I’m really amazed they didn’t ask about pilot hiring.
I think she was more referring to United buying XJT.

I personally heard a chief and another big wig discussing this exact policy about a year ago. They were wanting to be able to displace people for upgrade. I would not put it past them trying it.

Your first problem is that Chief pilots have zero to do with training... and do not interact with flight standards and training as some airlines do..

I can tell you exactly what is going to happen the first time they do not have enough people going through upgrade.

Let us be pragmatic, shall we not? As soon as there are not enough people willing to upgrade, the junior manning will begin in earnest. We might see advertisement for street captains by then, but if it came down to it, they will bend every company rule up to the letter of the law itself (the FAA) if it should ever affect the bottom dollar that we could make - whether it be ethical or not.
