I agree. I don't think they will excess any more captains. The 75 is the only one that wasn't touched before. Many of them are senior enough to still hold WB. This would cause even more of a shake up and even more training slots.

I could see

A scenario where someone who was a Capt could fail downbid training. Good judgement, good knowledge, reasonable motivation, just not as good with his left hand as with his right. I mean.....you're used to using one hand, then have to start with the other, it just feels like someone else.

Does that warrant EOP??

They can move him to the backseat where he can use either hand.

So that's why they say over 60 guys aren't very good in the back seat.

not sure if that has any meaning whatsoever, but just clarifying that the 75 was NOT "the only one that wasn't touched before"
