I'm curious if they have ever let an FO that is doing sim sit with a CA upgrade. To me it makes sense that they would do that. Instead of having two new FO's in the sim you would have one guy with experience and you wouldn't have to switch seats and all that good stuff. Not to mention since I live in CLT, if they would even consider something like that, they would not have to pay for a hotel room for me. Of course that's just me and some wishful thinking.
Of course having five weeks off I have a lot that could keep me busy. I need to take my ATP written, renew my CFI, and start getting ready to move into a new place.
