Can you explain how being displaced to CA is bad? Seems everybody talks about it negatively, so I guess I'm not understanding the details of that.
Is it a reserve thing since FOs with more time on property will upgrade after you then suck up the better schedules?
Are CAs being forced to fly right seat?
At least your getting paid for CA, right?
Variety of reasons. Say you live in DFW and you're flying right seat in 175 and get displaced to the CA seat in NY. You just went from driving to work to doing a brutal commute across the country to be stuck on RSV.
Say you've got a new born and wife that works full time with unusual hours. You're a line holding FO and have control over your schedule to make it work with the baby and wife's job. You get displaced to the CA seat and go back to RSV and lose any ability to control your schedule.
Say you're a former 135 guy that has 1,000 hours of 135 time that qualifies for an upgrade here. You've just got hired into your first 121 gig and get displaced to the CA seat with only a couple of months of 121 experience under your belt and are expected to be a CA.
Say you've got 1,000 hours of 121 time but you're still simply not ready to take on the responsibility just yet.
