Haven’t heard anything from ALPA about this asking for our input.
Time to contact your reps. David
I think the basic problem they are trying to solve is no/not enough international flying to get TOE done on the ER fleet. I understand the company's problem, but what if the company just never qualifies an Capt because "not enough TOE going on" and that pilot misses out on good international flying? Both in pay and experience. Or say he's a pilot who's 64 - what if they don't want to qualify him because he's retires soon? Many issues to think about.
I wish that ALPA would say "hey, this item is being discussed with the company, can we have input to your reps about it?"
