Just a slight correction to what Balibo says, in that there are only 18 positions remaining to be filled by
VB captains to satisfy the EBA requirement to have 4/7th of the Captain positions filled by
VB Captains for the first 7 aircraft. Current crewing should indicate that with 10 primary crew per aircraft the
VB deed should be met with the delivery of aircraft number 6, and upgrade of qualified SFO will get going in 2011. The only way I can see that extensive DEC's will be used is if the internal rumours of 200LR's happens quickly.
