Watch the roadshow video/town hall. Ask any FACT team member or rep.

Last half of the decade. They’ve made it pretty nebulous. Probably gone by 2030. Subject to market forces. They’re printing money on the 767’s which is why they’re repairing the crinkled one. Along with the fact that our growth is constrained by airframes at this point. Only reason not to bid it imo is it will probably be relatively stagnant compared to the Airbus/737.

Not how I read that but I can see how it is interpreted. Either way no one is moving to the CA seat as a new hire until next fall.

you get displaced you get to go anywhere your seniority can hold with no seat lock. Displacements are pretty powerful.
get displaced and go to NB Captain and after 6 months you hate it? Bud back to FO instead of waiting 2+ years

Hello- I received my CJO last week. Pending this TA passes as expected and they offer me the upgrade what would my schedule and QOL look like? My background is 20 years of military flying so I’m used to missing holidays and weekends. Do I just rip the bandaid off and jump in? Or is that horrible idea? My number one priority is to be based out of DCA/IAD. Thanks!
B the company can’t do it until all contract sections are implemented.

Or……you can fly a great airplane and then get displaced.

This is incorrect, and has been corrected many times. They can force new hires into captain as soon as the TA passes. The new hires cannot START CAPTAIN TRAINING until the new reserve rules are implemented. The new hires need 350 hours in type and complete the probation checkride. This will conveniently coincide to be about August 2024 when we will see the first new hire captains meet this requirement.

Right, I meant assuming all qualifying conditions were meant. I was mostly just trying to correct people constantly saying the company can't do anything until August 2024, which has been fact checked dozens of times.
