the only reason we're not flooded with contract captains already, is that the BALPA CC stood it's ground and said NO. Contract F/O's are something the CC is trying it's best to improve, but as has been mentioned already, are only one of the many issues that concern the easy pilots.
So, easy,
Just to clarify, or play devils advocate here, contract captains are not in EZ because the
BALPA CC put its foot down and said no..
By reasonable deduction, then, can we ascertain that Contract F/O positions are out there becuase the
BALPA CC didn't put its foot down and say 'No!'
