Your asking a retiree of four years (age 59 thank you) to remember that far back? I'll try: suspect it was in the latter years of the 1990's. I remember having an RFO on that flight, though I probably only flew it a half dozen times. Believe C.N. was the ACP at the time. In fact, I had a #2 engine fire warning over NY on one of these flights and the RFO ran the checklist for us. I also recall flights out of IND and AFW to Anchorage with no RFO's. Must have been a 'trial' period for the EWR-ANC RFO's, as the company was definately concerned with fatique and safety on that flight. Still have that daily flight? RFOs? When we had leaders that listened and tried to make the airline safer, we got reasonable requests approved.
