I just think we need a rational response that takes into account the real world.
That is not what I have said. What I said was if we have not farmed out any of this flying after 9-11, I would be looking at upgrade now. I do not have an issue being an FO. I like the job, and plan to stay in this position long after I can upgrade. It is not about being a CA, it is about options that would be available if we had not continued to slide on scope. I also would have been able to come over here a long time before this, if we would have not had such an erosion of scope.
That was the point, not that I want your job.
