It's not a CQFO "program." No one is "officially" hired as a CQFO right out of the gate. New hires are hired as an FO and as we need, which we will, CQFO's then they will be classified as such. That's when the blended pay takes place, etc

Hopefully that clears that up.

As someone in the know I can tell you CQFOs do all their sim training in the left seat and then basically do 3 takeoffs and landings right seat. That should speak volumes as to how the company planes on using the CQFOs.

Sounds like trickery just to attract new FO's.

That's news too me. If so great, but I wouldn't be expecting it right out of the gate. You can't be hired straight up as a CQFO. You can and are hired as a FO, and then will be made a CQFO as it's needed. I had a friend that interviewed with the qualifications and was not told that. He was also hired, and will be a CQFO as we need them. We haven't even started upgrading our own qualified guys yet let alone CQFOs.
