Carl, Have you called your reps to see if there is more to this story? I have not discussed it with my reps for the better part of a month. I talked to them about it, then it hit the DALPA forum. From their general demeanor it appeared to me that they were aware of the "rumors" and were doing their due diligence on this issue to make sure everything was on the up and up.
Apparently the issue died on the ALPA forum, so there must have been some resolution or clarification to in regard to this issue.

I have read the EFOB and I do understand where the discrepancies are in regard to the letter and the efob. I also recall with decent clarity a weekly update from our SVP that addressed this issue without addressing this issue directly. It addressed the ride alongs and provided further clarification beyond that of the EFOB. (It stipulated that "experienced" first officers that were not AQFO's would be used as well) It provided further clarification to the policy and the practice. If my recollection is correct, the issue died a quick death on the ALPA forum after that.

Is there something beyond that that needs to be addressed? If so, a Status Rep is the correct location to seek that resolution as they were aware of it the first time around. This is not mean to be a put down. It is merely me recounting the issue as I recall it. Like I have said, if this is incorrect, lets find where the problem is.
