Yeah, OK - how about admitting what it would do to all the bigger MEM bidpacks….??
In MEM 757 alone it could easily be 10-12 lines per month (about 6-8% of current bidpack)…with all those FOs now trying to rebuild their schedules in View/Add Window
Those pilots will pluck out the sweetest 750-900 credit hours / 125-150 one-day trips. What will be left for the VTO pilots?
The #1 VTO guy is going to really be the the #11- #13 VTO guy, and every subsequent VTO line be negatively affected too.
What will Initial Open Time look like after all secondary lines are built ? Answer = Worse!
R24 to R16 will also have a significant affect on Open Time. Less Open Time = less need for Reserves, and less ability for ALL pilots who want to adjust their schedules for increased QOL.
Let’s ALL be genuine and transparent.
In Unity (for Everyone),

Student lines were a MAJOR concession that would drop every FO secondary line holder 10% in seniority. That combined with a 14% DOS pay raise, it’s laughable anyone thought TA1 would pass.
