Back in Feb when 4.A.2.b was invoked credit hours variance wasn't so bad... now it is just down right awful. The company is doing whatever whenever they they see fit and we have no recourse it seems.
I take part of the blame for having such loose language in the contract but enough is enough already...since when does a narrow body FO make the same as a wide body captain
Some of the 75 freight could easily be going to the Bus and yes they could handle more 75 students in the schoolhouse...IMHO
The only issue with the schoolhouse... I know personally several 757 flexes that have been excessed off the airplane. If they don't ramp up the training soon... they'll have to hire more people to teach. Kind of makes a person wonder why they excessed sooooo many 757 FOs (150 plus) if their BLGs are so high. Seems to me that they don't have enough of those folks.
Cost Savings pure and simple
