How financially does it make sense for the company to buy 3 of the 4 required positions of every IOE leg of every IOE pilot?? 1)capt leg bought by LCA 2)FO trip bought FBO 3)additional pilot required for FAA minimum.

I imagine you will say it is not your problem...company signed contract and they have to choke on it. My point is I don't want to KILL the goose! I like my job! I don't want to give the company a reason to outsource, or not hire, or not grow...all because I wanted to get paid to stay at home rather than babysit a new guy.

I do not drink company Kool aide....but what is your solution....that is economically viable to both?

I definitely didn't want to loose bid able positions due to being locked by IOE sched...how is that honoring senority!?
How about you let the LCA bid what his seniority can hold. Don't hold back any trips from the FOs. FBO the flying pilot and put the extra IRO slot into open time for someone to pickup.

How's that for a solution?
