Actually, as RPIC, you woud log less P1U/S time than when you are FO. You can't log P1U/S if you aren't the handling pilot for landing or takeoff. So you shouldn't be logging time spent as RPIC as P1U/S unless it is your sector.
Since most RPICs get less sectors than when they where FOs, you are actually logging less P1U/S.
On a side note, I like how the memo said that they aren't changing this requirement due to shortage of crews. Yeah right. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that most of the guys leaving are RPIC on the freighter. By the way, where is this pay talk you told us we would discuss once rostering practices were negotiated?
I'm just happy I voted NO to both. Makes me feel better...
The good thing is that if they are getting rid of this ridiculous RPIC stuff, hopefully the even dumber PCA is next. I know, whishfull thinking. But hey, many planes on the horizon with retirements and attrition might lead them to see the light.
