From: Cockpit speaker volume knob set to eleven.
The fail was DALPA constantly trotting out and touting rates that only a very small percentage of the pilot group will ever see, while at the same time trying to justsify the LCA trip drops as it would only affect a small percentage of F/Os.

In the "old days," if your trip was dropped for an OE, you were subject to recovery flying. That was wrong. The fix, however, results in some FOs who make a mini-career out of getting paid to rarely fly or who make well north of what their counterparts in the left seat make. Either way, it's featherbedding, and provides a disproportionate contractual benefit to a small population.

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.

Your full of crap Purple Dork. Nobody "authorizes" me to post or not post. I simply have a busy life outside this place whereas yours appears to revolve around your keyboard. Plain enough genius?

I see it as way to make up all the lost income due to furlough, merger, PBS, PRP's ETC................
Your priorities are way off....................

Why is this a problem? Most of the F.O.'s have seen nothing but stagnation and backwards movement for the majority of their career.

It is a disproportionate benefit to a small group. [/QUOTE]
