It seems that they may be shooting themselves in the foot somewhat with the upgrade policy, I know that it isn't flight ops who make the policy. But the fact that you could have 1001 hrs on a jet weighing 10001kgs and get an accelerated upgrade when someone else has 3000hrs for example on a turboprop weighing 24000kgs and can't get an accelerated upgrade seems to be detrimental and somewhat shortsighted of the company if they are short of potential captains.
