normanton (Mr. Immunity),
Probably worth considering that every Capt and FO on the 787 is qualified to do your job with no extra training (above whatever recency would be needed). Can you do theirs? Every Capt and FO would also have a CR pay out $X00,000 larger than yours.
So, which one would they choose to CR? Honest question, and just wondering if you've played that scenario out when you decided to help the company out.
And yes, I know quite a few SOs who have neglected to fall for the LWOP trick.
