must meet 121 requirements before being awarded a CA vacancy.

if you had 999 hrs of 121 time on day one of indoc with no other qualifying time you would not be eligible

I can’t link or attach it, but don’t you work at TK? HFPD puts it out, just ask them for it. The current version is V1.2024. I wouldn’t say that’s proof, but it is in conflict with the bidding guide. I certainly hope if someone is getting an aircraft awarded out of seniority order has contacted the union for clarification.

Cue the resident UAL hater. How long was the CA of the flight out of FCO at DAL?

But, but, but... that's completely different, is logical, and cannot be argued against. The guy is such a db.

I don't know. All I know is it's always so over the top with that guy - truly comical how he comes across.

Dang. I’ve got a class date coming up and was hoping to bid for the CA. I hardly block time at my current airline, but I’ll review my logbooks. I think I’m still below the 1000.

Won't make much difference. Top off your 1000 hours then update your bid if you want.
