I realize these are blanket statements and there are plenty of DEC's who make great Captains. However, the point remains, whipsawing results in less experienced crews operating aircraft. Sometimes with new Captains flying with new FO's.

I think the whipsaw game is almost played out, but always wondered why ALPA national failed to point out how this could be unsafe.
