Something doesn't add up here.

Or is it more staffing compared to normal ops, but less than the increase that would be triggered by all the GS flying?
NO to CDO

Okay, I gotta admit I'm a little surprised because some of the usual suspects are agreeing with a con position.
Is there a political reason? Was there a collective forget to logoff? Or does the TA for which there is no language appear to suck that bad?
I apologize to all the usual suspects for assuming you would be just using regurgitated talking points. Thank you for speaking your minds.

The CDO thing might be a distractor for other agendas. Maybe there is no intent to implement CDOs. Just a tool to get our eyes off the real issue. CDOs are so ridiculous to implement or suggest in a perceived pro-safety/fatigue environment, that I am beginning to think that the issue is created to help move pass along another issue

Maybe, but maybe not. I can only speculate that the company realized that they would need to make staffing adjustments in order to comply with 117.
5000 green-slips a month and we have not seen a summer yet under 117.
Maybe when the company told Wall Street that FAR 117 compliance would not require more Pilots they were wrong.
Scoop
OBTW - I am beginning to have serious doubts about this TA but to all those who say "Whats the rush?" I respond with the fact that we have known about 117 for two years, and have been operating under it for 5 1/2 months - this may be ill conceived (still undecided) but was not rushed.
