I'm not intending to get into a whole big thing with anyone about why this takes the wind out of the sails of the CQFOs on property because I dont feel like it, and I doubt anyone cares.
That being said. I just want from around 20 something on the upgrade list to probably 120 something if I'm lucky. That's what's changed. That's what feels like a punch.
No small part of a lot of our decisions was the fact that only 30 pilots on property had the upgrade mins. Now that's changed vastly. Is it unfair? Is it dirty? Is it bad business? I'm not saying any of that. Just said it was a punch.

Well it sucks for those of us currently on the upgrade list who could potentially lose their bypass pay. That makes me upset.

Since that probably CAN'T be the case, how would this affect by-pass pay?

To put it bluntly....it's hard to gauge the quality of advice or content you read on these forums. I'm humble enough to realize I have much more to learn, but respectful of my experiences as well.
Hope that makes sense. I can sense that this thread might be grow toxic to this line of rhetoric, so in the interest of not derailing the thread, I'll bow out at this time.
Still be interested in hearing CBreezy's response, and PMs from CPTs at TSA.

I was hired with 3100 hours with over 2000 of them being in the 145. I'm finishing SIM as an FO. I tried several times in vein before I came here to be categorized as a CQFO since I have over 3000 hours (on property FO mins) and I have a lot of time in type. But nevertheless I made the hard decision to make the move here. Coming here when I did makes me senior to every CQFO on property except maybe 8. Now you're telling me that guys with less flight time AND potentially no time in the airplane AND junior to me in seniority will come in as CQFOs and make $18-$36 more per hour than me? Am I understanding this correctly? So by coming 2 months early im being penalized potentially $18k-36k per year? I mean seriously!?! Listen I know like everyone else that nothing is guaranteed in this industry. I don't consider upgrade to captain my God given right or anything. But this isn't right.
