How much are we going to give away to save the Lances this time?
The truth is the senior FO's are still going to bid the lines that the Lance's used to, and they're still going to give away all their stuff and bid premium, just like the Lances did.
It will be no different except the Jr Capts won't be ****ed off at the Lance's.
BTW, I'm a senior FO so I'd benefit from retention of the LCP.
My point is the dudes who were nailing themselves to a cross on the last TA over Lance captain suddenly don't GAS about Lance. Why? Because they got theirs and they've moved on to some other issue that only seems to effect them.
