I've been hearing that the AT chief pilot has been telling recurrent classes that SW is currently working on putting together a Captain to Captain training program.
The story goes that when the senior AT guys are forced over in late 2014, they'll immediately be able to hold an upgrade class and the company doesn't want the unnecessary expense of training them twice, once as FO then immediately afterward as Capt.
The story goes, if they can't get 6-9 months of service as an FO from a transitioning AT guy, they'll send him home and call him back for Capt training.
Just a rumor but it is being spread by the AT chief pilot.
