CDOs have no place in major airline ops. They are onerous at best. And if allowed, will have a ripple effect throughout the bid packages as trips are changed to allow for the CDOs. We need to protect what we have, for example; Some people want to sell their vacations... should we permit that? Just for those who want to? Would it affect others?
There was much outcry, so we got rid of it in C2K.
But what we have today with PBS 100% vacation sell back! In every vacation month, after the bid run your vacation time goes away (off your max pickup), so you can white slip a trip to 'replace' 100% of your vacation time, in effect, you just sold it all back.
If you want to hear the company (and many pilots) really scream, just tell them you want to eliminate that feature in C2015!

Have CQ coming up and the FO has a Z next to the sim type. IE: 601Z. Any ideas what that means?

Motion seconded.

It means they will be doing the couple of extra items required to have the SIC restriction removed from their type rating. They will have to taxi the aircraft and perform a RTO from the left seat.

In any case, it's just like you said... huge failure at the MEC level. Or more accurately, their plan to slip these things past us didn't work.
Yep. So why are we considering them again?

Actually, the FO will do it all from the right seat, and they skip their "first look" maneuvers. It is basically transparent to the 601 event.
