The company doesn’t “contemplate” anything when it comes to DEC. It will happen if the position goes unbid or a senior pilot has no course right to bid it.tdp19 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 25, 2019 7:53 pmwhere did you hear direct entry captains for C-series? and why would they do that?

Anything can change between now and 4 years but AC is the goal. Yes, crappy pay to start but what the heck, it's AC. Can't beat red.
What are forecasted hiring trends looking like? How long do we suspect this wave will last?
Age 65 retirements finally started picking up this year, 100-150 retirements per year will continue for the forciable future.
Yes starting wages suck, but limited course rights has allowed high paying captain positions to go relatively junior (2-3 years) 1 Narrow Body captain course right for 4 separate separate positions (CS300/737/A320/L319)
The company is contemplating direct entry captains for the C-Series.
It’s how seniority works.
