Have you read the alleged "turd"... Although I don't wish to fly in the right seat, I accept it as reality. I didn't make the poor choices management did, but yet I live with them and do what I can to make it better.

This LOA will make it much easier for long term FO's to upgrade and finally get a pay raise they deserve. Along with this, reservist will see a huge increase in quality of life. Moreover, the LOA is only for year, which shows you that they are likely going to use it to upgrade significantly. I'm not happy the way things have gone, but right now you are being asked to make a choice. Go down one path and the company may wind down. go down another and we might have a bright future. Even if you are senior and don't care anything about the other pilots on the list, you have to admit that it is a step in the right direction with serious gains. I know many lifers here don't care much about the absolute plight of our FO's, but you should. If there aren't any FO's to staff then you should start to worry about who is going to be in that right seat, ****hint, it's you*****...

Point is, listen to what the reps say, educate yourself on the language, and make an educated decision, rather then saying it's just a turd.

........ I said I wouldn't ever post on this again... you roped me in... shame on me I suppose
