As Fuji said they should run the VR first.
If they get the required numbers, great and all of us can take a chill pill.
Problem is let’s say they even fall 20 numbers short. How many people in the bottom 100 are going to risk being the one not to take LWOP? And what about the next 100 pilots above them? As SandyPalms said- how far will the crocodile climb?
This is a very dirty tactic, but it’s in the EBA.
