If they put him/her right back into the left seat wouldn't that be an abrogation of seniority? We know DW would never allow that
No problem with the dual training if they are going to operate and generate revenue for a few months between them.
It just makes me cringe to think we'd actually flow a guy straight from one training slot to another.
I know a 727 SO who was awarded a FO slot during initial indoc and only spent 3 weeks in the backseat after his IOE --- that just seems like incredibly poor planning/forecasting/mgt from a cost perspective.
Admittedly, that happened about 6 months before they started training Purple Nuggets direct to ANC and training every other 727 new hire class with a mix of SOs and FOs.
While recent events have not made me happy, at this point I think we need to do it smart from a business perspective --- less training expense equates to an increase $$ we can ask the company to put in our pockets!
