I followed up that statement with a question as to whether the displacement was more permanent than we were led to believe. The answer was yes. So, they’ve replaced 15 of us with PSIs. This wasn’t about needing captains on the line. Unfortunately, the quality of training for all of us will be vastly different going forward.
Absolutely ridiculous. We have new and inexperienced captains and FOs coming online and pairing them with weak PSIs is not the thing we need to be doing right now. Top that off with punishment for adding fuel and it's not an ideal situation. If anything they should be required to add a couple hundred pounds of fuel for new captains, but that's a separate argument. The bigger question is: Why are we bean counting in places that we shouldn't be when the economy and AAG is doing well at this time?
