A couple others have homes and families in Asia. Perhaps they will. That's it. As for the F/O's going over as Captains, that's more plausible. Except of course, those with children.

You seem to imply that because 68% voted for the LOA that there are quite a few thinking about bidding it. I disagree. Almost everyone that I heard that was voting for, were doing so for the benefit of those that did bid it. You know $2700 was better than nothing. Many wanted that added "scope protection" Well, for those thinking about it, do your research(our NC certainly didn't), and bid accordingly. I've certainly enjoyed the flying here in SFS. I look forward to going home.
