If a new hire is forced into a capt slot that they dont want, all they have to do is a "fail" a training event. Whatever the written test is called, procedures validation, etc. One failure will send him or her back to the right seat.

don’t even have to fail, can pass and still get short cycled which would make one ineligible.

It’s a concession. Right now, everyone can decide when to bid CA. Why would we let the company assign it to someone that doesn’t choose it?
Are people so scared that others will vote no, that you have to pretend this isn’t a concession? Those saying it takes a number of steps first, or that it won’t be implemented til later, or volunteers will reduce the number of forced upgrades, are ignoring the fact that it’s a concession. TUMI pitch men were telling us “we don’t think the company will do that” or “…very often” with the concessions in that POS. Let’s not do that.

This is not a concession. Every interviewee will be asked if they're willing to accept a Captain assignment under the UPA terms. I hope they're truthful when they answer.
