But, even with that said, can I vote twice?
I took a break during the TA debate.
1) I agree. How or do we help and/or how much $ do we charge? If we don't help why would they give us $ for this issue? This is a joint problem: if they can't train/staff and plan accordingly it slows progression. That helps us? How?
2) I don't think they care who occupies the NB capt seats. If a senior F/O goes to a NB Capt seat they are replaced by a more junior F/O who plays (maximizes) whatever rules are available. Just like the person replaced.
3) I agree. But, we've apparently voted to not monetize PS. So, do they offer a higher premium? or... forget about it.
In the end I don't think either side was desperate. JMO, OFG
