Yep. I have heard that they were calling out LCA to fly in the right seat. Looks like management already waited to long to offer even a terrible solution.

Senior FOs should be happy about this. If the company downgrades, the first people to downgrade will be DECs and then if the company ever upgrades again the senior FOs will upgrade ahead of the DECs. Of course as a DEC if I am downgraded I will also be resigning so it doesn't really help the company. As I've mentioned I can't understand why any FO works here and I certainly will never work here as an FO.

Looks like Dion went to the Republic school of airline management. Too little too late.
