I know a couple of guys doing it, and unless something has drastically changed in the last few months, I would argue that point, but maybe you are right and they flew a thousand hours in the last few months or so and would now be ATP qualified for the Regionals.

It might be legal, but I would argue the ethics of anyone doing it, and say that they should do some soul searching about how they feel if it were being done to them during negotiations/mediation.

The strike is coming, I wonder if these guys are going to move AAY birds then too? I could see them being like the Falcon guy and claiming that they didn't know what was going on.

I'm wondering if all those that are doing it are one are also reporting to their CP's that they are doing it too. I also wonder what the rules are for using company jumpseat privileges to get to a paid gig where you are moving another airline's metal around? I'm just wondering theoretically. Oh well, we'll know the answers to these questions soon enough from what I've heard.
