Oh, and what sailingfun did earlier in responding to me is known as a red herring to day 1 logic students.

Dalpa must have authorized the rocky mad dog persona to start posting again. They kept it on ice leading up to the recall vote. Smart move. Not really a consensus builder. More of a "what's wrong with Dalpa" in every paragraph he types.

Well, I could see where the argument is that the impact is really small.
Because we don't even hardly have any 777As. We're not United with 107 777s and 744s running around. We've got like... 18? 2% of the fleet?
It's like they preplanned the pilot shortage by using JVs and shrinking the 777 fleet to where it doesn't matter. The OE thing was just icing on the cake.

I love the "we got the A350-900 up to B777-200 rates." Its exactly the same size airplane. If you can't improve the rates on an equal size more efficient airplane, then I guess you say status quo is an accomplishment.

OK, I will try this again. The past impact was negligible. The current impact is small but increasing. The important thing to consider is the future.
Many FO's will benefit from this in the very near future.
So if this is really a "must have" for the company lets not just give it away!
Finally a question - If the IOE trip drops are negligible and don't have a significant impact on productivity then why was/is it a "must have" for the company?
Answer - Because the company has the foresight to look forward and plan ahead when the impact will be huge.

So in your universe having the A350 at 777 rates was a "fail?" At least your screen name is accurate.
