I looked at the min-max bulletin from this vacancy and last vacancy. It appears that the unfilled 787 FO seats from the last vacancy, plus retirements, is approximately the same number of the captain seats for this vacancy.
Also, if you are on the 787 in some of the bases, your BES percentage took a turn for the worse (mainly SFO/EWR).

I think the point I was making is getting missed because I didn’t make it well. What I’m saying is, a regulatory environment which says someone with 500 hrs of time monitoring the autothrottles in an E175 and 500 hrs of IRO time is worthy of a 737 upgrade—but a pilot with 3,000+hrs of command time in [B-2/C-130/B-52/P-8] is not worthy of said upgrade—ought to be looked at. We all know people in both camps who are going to be good captains, but the regulation ought to do a better job of ensuring overall experience.
Also, the 0200-0600 local time FSBs should go away.

How many pilots are on the property with only 500 hours of monitoring ERJ throttles or only 500 of IRO time? I don’t follow the equivalency that military flying has to 121 ops. Not to discount potential and ability, but there’s more to airline flying than operating the jet.

Military a pilot with 3,000+hrs of command time in [B-2/C-130/B-52/P-8] vs a Military pilot whose experience was army rotary wing and went through a quick transition to fixed wing prior to 121 flying….
but to say that someone who has 500 hours of 121 in a regional world and 500 hours as a IRO during international ops in 121 would have a tougher time upgrading and handling the left seat in a 121 operation (Chances are that they will have more 122 time than 1000 hours) vs military bubba whose at their 121 here and got 1000 hours is less capable is a stretch. You might have some form a bias towards military aviators. That’s ok.

My post was making that point. A mil hire is probably gonna be fine. Someone who had 500 hrs in an E175 with autothrottles and fancy tech, and 500 hrs in a 777, and also hasn’t flown an airplane less advanced than a full glass Cirrus—that’s a different set of circumstances. Doesn’t mean they’re not also going to be fine, but the safety net of experience has some gaps in it. Under current FAA rules the mil hire’s time means very little towards upgrade whereas the 500hr regional hire’s time is given significant weight. That’s a disparity that should be looked into.

Doesn’t resolve all concerns but I’ll shut up until the next opportunity to gripe about kids these days and flying enormous traffic patterns in C150s. And 0200-0600 FSBs.
