From: MD-11 Captain
Default FDX TA: PIC with double crews

FDX TA: Pilot in command/captain of record determined by seniority for doublecrewed flights. sec 22.B.2 Why the change in the way we do it now? Doesnt it suck for the captain who bids the line to lose the flight/landing to a captain who bids a double crew line? Lots of potential for abuse by senior capts bidding nothing but two crew lines ( and racking up the deadhead NW miles) but keeping current by trumping for the landing. we already have too many professional RFOs begging for landings to stay current, but never bid a line that might actually give them a landing. Ive seen more than one captain recently tell a senior rfo no, bid a line and work for a living. Anyway, I thought this issue was already debated and resolved. Why the change? Was it a union request or management?
