I'm not defending the practice of a F/O upgrading after 9 mo's.I too would be uneasy if I knew the experience level in the cockpit was so low. But look at why he progressed so fast-who's seat did he upgrade to? Where did that Capt go?
It's all about building time so you can move up to the majors and eventually earn the big bucks.Who in this world gets paid top dollar first day on the job?
And a pay raise from 21K to 70K!!!!
Again I'm not defending the company -there should be standards in place to insure proper experience level up front.I just think the whole story should be told.
