The job never seemed to be about flying for JL anyway. He rarely flew when he was the CP or the years before when he was in training. I doubt he cares if he can come back up front with a seniority number. He can fly test and he can maintain his pay and ego by doing the special jobs that he has a niche for doing.

It doesn't make sense but then non of this does.

As for saving money on training cycles...our s/o instructors are getting paid and not training any new hires. Might as well make the over 60 guys run the gauntlet they caused. The company is still training guys that will be around for longer than 5 years.
As for the FAA, it would really funny to see them pass the critical phase of flight rule. I guess they figure the over 60 guy is ready for a nap after taxing to the runway anyway!

say a shoulder or something.. from playing the system and jumping back into a front seat over those who have played the game as intended... but if they can't be in the seat together during critical phases of flight... can we expect another change in ALPA policy because it's the "right thing to do?" Somewhere I vaguely remember something about safety being the buzz word.
finally...If you have Captain on your APC profile, does that mean you're exempt from the rule?
