It would be foolish to think this affects only FO's. Look at how senior WB FO's are relative to junior captains. Then again, it would be equally foolish to assume this is where things are headed, based on the rumor of a company ask.

Senior, as in super senior. I've gotten them before but they are rare in the new hire aircraft unless you are very senior. Some FOs get to enjoy a great schedule as a result; others just get to bid for the LCAs and see disappointment when The results come out. My guess is, if you're in the top 10% of your category you enjoy this part of the contract on a consistent basis. Otherwise, it's a rare bonus.

Pathetic that the company is looking to change the policy on OE displacements. My old regional (skyw) had a better policy on this than what we even have now. If you were pending being displaced from a trip for training, they HAD to fully release you at 36 hours prior to sign in. Furthermore, if they had a trip to assign you in its place, it had to fully fit inside the time confines of the original trip. We should be looking to pattern bargain "up" to our regional partner's policy on this one. The DL bean counters need to stop trying to squeeze every stinking half pence out of our a $$ es.

This had better not end up being a TA where every percent raise is costed out via a concession. I'd much rather just stick with what we've got if the rumors are true.

With AE's coming out 6 times a year, retirements and upgrades taking place and a fleet that has so many types and categories, I'm sure the lost productivity is a factor in pilot staffing. Now they can pay GS pay and recover some of that productivity, but I'm sure the GS acceptance rate is harder for the company to predict .
It would be a real efficiency gain for the company in pay/people to recover some of that FO manpower at straight pay that will otherwise be lost and have to be repurchased at much higher rate.
