Okay, this is the way I see it.

There are only 19-20 folks on the property that don't have a window seat. The company wants get to get rid of passover pay...fair enough.

If the bean counters were smart, they would hire right into the right seat of the 757. Otherwise, you actually create a whole new passover pay issue.

If you put the first new hires in the SO seat, then hire into the right seat (I mean, you can't hire 150-200 folks to the SO seat) you will be paying passover pay to those 80-90 you hired into the backseat.

This doesn't even consider the cost of training to train all the SO's, this turn right around and possibly train them in the right seat of something else.

To me, it makes sense to hire directly into the 757 or possibly right seat 727. Discuss?
