I understand that there are MD-11 CAPT RFO lines printed again in the Mar Bidpack. Would there be any valid reason for this other than a lack of FO capacity to fill RFO commitments?

Contract requires all new sequences(CDG-CAN) that require a 4 person crew, be doubled crewed (Capt/FO) for the first 90 days.

Capt RFO pairings should go away in April.

That's OK for the CDG-CAN sequence but I've got a LCA from MEM-STN. He then DH's to CDG for the CDG-CAN leg but then DH's to PVG for the PVG-ANC leg and DH's back to MEM.

Just sayin'....

That is because of the CDG-CAN leg, the Company is not going to DH the CA into and out of CDG and CAN just for that leg. The Company can use CA's as an RFO on any trip. I actually prefer more CA hours in the bid pack than FO...

I agree with more CA hours in the bidpack too I just didn't know they would give a CA an entire line of RFO trips for a month to fill just one leg of CDG-CAN.

A little off the immediate subject, but did anyone go to the Block 8 meeting/dinner that they had with DW? I was unable to attend and was wondering how it went. I think it was on the 11th of February.
