I do too, but this issue essentially affects anyone who has FO's senior to them, meaning mostly FO's and Captains up to about mid-seniority NB (consider how many 777/747 FO's are senior to the average NB Captain).

We can probably do better than shifting the cost of a paid APD, onto a portion of the list. When we make trades, we probably ought to focus on the common benefit, and on sharing the burden/costs as well.

How long ago did we have a paid APD, anyway? I can't remember ever seeing it.
