The rumored IOE trip hold back is win-win... for the company. They won't need as many pilots in every category to cover the flying they hold back, and they won't have to pay anyone to stay home or pay them twice, if they pick up another trip. So it effects manning -and- pay.
And ALPA says it only affects a small number of pilots, which is true if you take a snapshot. But the junior FO's will be senior FO's soon , and they will miss out on what we have now. So in reality, it affects a very large % of FO's if we take this concession.
