We turn it down. They hire foreign pilots, or "cheap" pilots. We take them to court, and the court will rule in their favor, as they offered us something...and we turned it down. This is a very realistic outcome.

Look at the STS experiment with ATLAS. CATHAY had new Captains hired out of seniority in their past...

Our leverage is little or nothing. I'm not in favor of this, but, would rather have something rather than nothing. Keep the flying on our list. No one bid the FDA's. Make them suck up the cost of the STV fully. That cost alone will make them have to re-evaluate this whole thing.

I trust this company as far as I can throw them...and this gives them the excuse they want to break scope...doo doo sandwich either way, it's just that one has cheese.

PS, anyone that has more info on the problems with accepted fares, please post that info, as I've missed what the problem has been.
