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.

We constantly degrade VTOs with all the conflicts. I don’t like the student line garbage but if it doesn’t go away, just give the guy with the student line the next line he can hold at a premium. Stop adding stuff to the makeup window and degrading VTOs. Yes that means somebody further down the list doesn’t hold that line and maybe gets a VTO but at least they come in at their seniority not before the #1 VTO. Our bidding process is unnecessarily drawn out and complicated.
