Hey Billybob,
I suppose your next well thought out suggestion will be to ban f/o and Cmd upgrades as well. I'm sure that will go down well. Are all those people, who have recently been upgraded to Capts and F/O's, mindless fools as well? "Wake up and smell the coffee". We must all stick together for the common good of our profession. I'm sure you will find that the percentage of C & T's that went sick last year was similiar to that of the line pilots. I know for a fact that most of the Aust and NZ based C & T's went sick and some continue to be on a regular basis.
This thread is devisive and counter productive, may I suggest we end it now.
