Saying the “overwhelming consensus” is saying that all those FOs choosing to be on reserve really want to get flight time as quick as possible. Really?
This is really not going to help the company get more TOTAL captain eligible FOs sooner. It will force a few hold outs sooner. But if they are going to DISPLACE other FOs from flying, then it will delay those FOs by the same number of hours.
This is also taking away OT from those who want it and are trying to build time.
If the “overwhelming consensus” of FOs on the cusp was wanting to get more flight time, you wouldn’t have people on the cusp bidding reserve. You also wouldn’t have to displace those who just became eligible. Do they really think so or expect anyone to believe this?
