What’s going on? Is this an issue of hours? Are we really hurting that bad for qualified FOs?
Also - is it time to change the CBA upgrade minimums? Requiring 1500ME/2000TT or 1000ME/2500TT is not going to work with the pilots on our seniority list. We are on a very fast track to hire street captains.
What seems worse: a compass CA that’s never flown at compass before, or a compass CA that has only 1000 SIC at compass?
What are the company and union doing to address this sudden issue? The rate at which this problem sprang up is concerning.
I think I speak for all of us when I say we do not want street captains.
Your points are legitimate.
Company doesn't care - they'll hire street captains.
Union guys don't care - they've got their union positions on their resume - that's all that matters to them.
