I think that the left seat would fill at 100% and the right seat would fill at 75%. I also think that the company has a pretty good idea of how the seats would fill. As far as the RLA vs. German labor law, I think that has already been worked out between the German gov. and the company. Our current Sect 6 says any FDA pilot is domiciled in MEM. So why is there an agreement that the pilot who fills an FDA must sign saying he/she must work under U.S. labor laws? I think it is to add that extra layer of security for the company. They would want that doc to take to an arbitrator or judge if they think a group is acting outside the RLA. Just my opinion. I do think the vote will be interesting. I still haven't decided, I just like to see both sides of the debate.
