SO what do you think the pilots' sentiment towards it would be? For? Against? If against, is it worth 'paying' something to ensure it dies before being born? Maybe management has no interest either, but are using it to get us to spend capital for nothing.

All I can say is that I had a senior flight ops VP on my jumpseat once a few years ago, and he told me that because of the attitudes displayed some from the last flow thru, if he had any say in the matter there would never be another. Take that for what it's worth. Now I freely admit that person is no longer here, but I am sure his feelings were not solitary. It won't affect me one way or another, but I would personally be against it.

If they really do want it, then it has value. What is it worth? I'd trade a little bottom end for a lot of top end.
