Not that I can find but we have a scheduling section that is pretty specific on what kind of lines (relief, reserve, etc.) can be built and what rules they have. IRO is not one of them. I'm sure if our managment could shove it down our throats they would have. At least that's what they've done in the past. Either they don't think they can based on the current contract or maybe just maybe they wanted to find out if we would be willing to do it.
The only details I was given on the subject was management was interested in using IRO's for Lima. I guess they didn't want a crew wasted by sitting for 24 hours. Basically it would make Lima about and 11 hour out and back leaving around 7 at night and getting back around 6 in the morning........dangerous.
