hey Bus canuck
Good point but what about the fact that they are needed on the AB and will be rereleased as soon as possible. They are already tagged for the Bus upgrade and my guess is havent got enough 3 yrs guys to replace them by September......its just a delay not cancellation. And remember all F/O's have to be peplaced by new recruits......where are they coming from?
If you read my post .....if this probelem had been addressed at the start of the year with a proper transition upgrade policy, instead of that invitation to swap fleets we wouldnt be having this debate now.
The upside is that ..........co 's are moving ......and for every pilot that gets an upgrade weather its a three year guy or one of the acclerated guys ........we are all getting closer to a command.
Has it been longer than 3 1/2 years to command at EK .....i am unsure.....most of the new captains I fly with have all been 3 yrs or so.....no one has been longer.
Just for a moment look outside the command issue.....look at the bigger pic.....its not pretty........aircraft coming ...no crew!.....flights not departing....no crew!.....aircraft parked ....no crew! roster at the end of the month....no crew!
they have to do something fast
