The company makes money, the sims get used, the check instructor doesn't have to go back to the line, and the FO has twice the aviation job opportunities open to him, even if many are corporate or overseas.
It would be a reach to say the FO could be allowed to payroll-deduct the cost at $20/paycheck...
Or is this thinking too far out-of-the-box?

When has Comair (as a wholly owned) ever done anything to help anyone but themselves?

I'm not talking about newhires, but rather the more expensive 4th-8th year FOs who would have options with an ATP/type.

Still, after almost two years as a line holder, I am just not that motivated about sitting on reserve as an FO

it does! Sorry! What I meant was that they want you to become a low time (in company) captain, so they can sit you on 6 RR a month (paying you a fraction of that time spent in the CL) and keep you in a cp the other 14 days a month. Sound more like OH now?
