Da40,
Street Captains isn't a bad thing nor something to get your panties wadded up over.
Delta doesn't not care about this. It's happened before, and it will happen again. Saying that delta cares about this is a baseless projection. The real question is why are YOU so against street captains? Must be an FO without the time to upgrade....
I don't think this will increase insurance premiums either. It just doesn't make sense. Currently, guys are being upgraded who haven't even flown 100 hours as an FO. Why would a street captain with a lot more experience than 2500 TT mean higher premiums?
Also, show me where the Contract prohibits street captains?
