I’d say there is no need for rapid command, in the short/medium term anyway.
There is already a healthy pool of experienced F/Os eligible or soon to be eligible for command. Also a large number of 6 year+ FOs who joined as Second Officers who are nearing command eligibility. I would imagine there won’t be a shortage of Command applications over the next couple of years.
Add to that the new Boeing delivery delays for the MAX and there will be a back log of command upgrades if anything.
If you joined today you’re probably looking at 3 years to the left seat of everything goes well. Which is still pretty quick considering the network flydubai has and the challenges associated with some of the destinations. I doubt they’d lower the ‘length of service’ requirements for those reasons.
