On second thought, it looks like a girl fight as they wave back up and forth at each other.

There had better be a strong response to the idea of putting MPL in US cockpits taking away a widebody FO slot.

At least the wing walker noticed it and tried to stop it.

They don't take an FO slot, more like the FO gets a secretary.

It seemed everyone on the express side of the house knew contract 2000 could not function as designed without major changes. The RJ guys figured "their" airplane order was going to get cancelled so that Delta could remain in compliance. Thus the name ... the RJ Defense Coalition...
Bar, you've managed to explain the RJDC better than any of the Captains I flew with in my 9+ years at Comair. And that includes a leg I flew with Ford towards the end.

We carry 2 FOs on most oceanic flights. That would eliminate one of them, thus eliminating an FO slot.

Nothankyousir!

A point that is lost on this forum time after time. ALPA also does not control the seniority list. The company decides who goes on that list and owns it. We do get to audit it contractually once a year.
