Wrong!

All there is to do is place a bid for the for the new LUAL (assuming no sli) pilot base and send them to the CAL training. You didn't think they would build a whole NEW training course or SOPs for LUAL pilots, did you?

Personally I believe this is why there are rumors afloat about tying things in the contract to the sli, they want to get it done.

As to the pilot who said there will be a 90% NO vote of the up and coming TPA, I believe with the exception of the two major blogs and the same people who post on them it will be a major passing of any TPA given to the two pilot groups after PASSING the MECs first.

But my opinion isn't worth a nickle.
