A number like that would mean they ain't all gonna be captains. Would a 737 FO go back to the right seat of an RJ? Then there is the time to train. But let's say it is a number significantly less than 1-2000. Say 300. We will have given up bottom end scope to 'save' 300 jobs out of 15,000. That 's a crappy batting average. I'm not saying throw furloughees to the wolves, but for Heaven's sake get something worthwhile for the 15,000 guys on the property.
yeah I can agree with you on some things here. Although I will say I would have been happy to go down to 9E even as an FO at their rates, beats any job I was finding that did not require me to resign from DL, but I can see your point. I will still say one list CRJ-200 through A350 would be even better, but I digress.
I will fully support DALPA on this one, SCOPE is being attacked on many fronts and this is just one. This management is bloodthirsty for scope relief to help fix the problem they created by not reinstating all UNA pilots to a real category after the VEOP. Never forget that is the reason we find ourselves here today.
