Yeah, probably not while the colgan families are still kicking.

Hopefully not while I'm still at SKW. But yes, eventually.

Right now, a lot of low/mid seniority major pilots are stilling stinging from the lost decade. So probably not much scope relief in the near future. Besides, how would they staff it?

Could be a good thing if the structure is pretty airtight. I don't object to dues paying in exchange for a clearly defined reward down the line. But too many guys paid dues for 15 years only to watch their barely-off-probation FO's get hired by legacies.
