If there'll be only 2 courses next yr than hell is gonna break loose in 2006. The new planes will arrive with us caught with our pants still down.
It's also more economic to have less FOs flying more hours, and more junior captains helping the senior and expensive ones in flying less overtime....
I heard that this was a money issue that had nothing to do with reality and the right guys apparently realized it and are pushing for more courses.
I'd be very surprised if the guys who joined last year would'nt get their upgrade opportunity in three yrs
