I have. There have been a number of individuals interviewed for the expressed intent of “Rapid Command”. These individuals if selected will be employed as DEFO’s on the freighters and once all suitable F/O’s on the companies seniority list have been given a go and/or a look in and any other suitable F/O given a chance to bid, then and only then will these new F/O’s be given a shot at command. It may just be that there are no suitable F/O’s on the companies seniority list and no other F/O’s are prepared to go to the freighter. If this is the case then these individuals will probably jump straight into the left seat. I would suggest these individuals were interviewed because of this very reason and not to jump the seniority list as was infered by the original poster in this thread. Oh and did I mention the failure rate on the Classic command course?
