Upgrade F/O's who are not yet ready, in terms of experience?
Actually Kaptin there are many first officers on the 737 who already have more than the required "experience" for promotions to the wide body fleets, but can't all be released because.............the cow jumped over the moon, the little dog laughed to see such fun and the dish ran away with the spoon. Once the cadets get on line I am sure they would put more SVN's out.
What is really sad though is the lack of accountability. For a company to be "national interest", the people put at important enough positions should at least be held accounable for the exodus.
If it was a surprise, then they can be excused. From what I hear the management was informed of this impending exodus way back in 2003. The fact that they did not prevent this from happening, or even try, just tells me what kind of people sit in office in this company.
