Viking, grow up. You have LHS experience yet you somehow cannot comprehend the scenario behind the temporary CTC captains. Looks pretty simple to me..company cock up summer figures as usual, try to pull a quick fix, union catches on, company agree to stop. Do you really think they would suddenly have laid on command courses instead just to keep you happy and in mid summer, leaving them short of FO's? I'd sharpen up your thinking before any command course or you will get burned
