The rule as written puts IAD-CDG, FRA, AMS, LHR, BRU in play with 2 pilots and marginal tweaking, and IAD-GVA and ZRH in play with a little extra tweaking. That's just at UAL! Add CAL at EWR, AMR and DAL at JFK, and US at PHL and you have hundreds of pilot jobs at stake here. Hopefully ALPA will repond appropriately. We will see.
From a regional puke, I also see what you are saying as well. If we could limit it to 8, I'd think we'd be in good shape with this NPRM.
I do think that ALPA will respond approriately to that provision in there. They will probably have guidance as well for the members to respond.
