that doesn’t sound like a good thing for the
pilot group.

I didn’t say forced upgrades benefit the pilot group. I said raises and bonuses benefit the pilot group. Forced upgrades benefit the company and the handful of current captains that are getting junior manned constantly because of the lack of upgrades.

I didn’t say they couldn’t force upgrades. I just said that they definitely will force upgrades now.

And now there are some built in protections instead of them just exercising a clause they already had.

Sorry. I thought your first comment about forced upgrades was disagreeing with what I said about it. You were actually agreeing with what I was trying to say. My bad. I’m no stranger to internet arguments but I didn’t mean to create one from thin air.

MP is selling this LOA hard today. It seems pretty obvious to me from the way the announcement is phrased that the company doesn’t think the incentives are enough to get people to upgrade and they’re going to have to force upgrades. He’s basically admitting that the LOA is mediocre at best. You senior-ish FOs better be prepared for your involuntary DAY CA RSV award.
