Except it's going to be 7-8 years before the guy sits in the right seat of an airbus, and meanwhile is going to be a Captain on something else prior.

He would not have upgraded at AWAC, he would have been the second name on the training department's list of lifer FOs. I would be shocked if he even decided to attempt upgrade training at PDT. He can just sit as an FO and continue to be babysat until he flows to mainline, as apparently others have done when they failed upgrade training. Scary stuff.

Because we're a union workforce and it's hard to fire people. And the captains here are highly experienced in the airplane (because it takes forever to upgrade) and have managed to keep the kid from hurting himself and others

Exactly why American is not even top 5 on my list. I can't imagine flying with someone that terrible for the rest of my career. Who knows how many like that are sneaking through the cracks with that no-questions-asked flow. I can only see that pilot group going downhill for the foreseeable future.

I guess he'll be your problem before long! Good luck with that
