What makes you think DECs are anymore likely/possible than before? Specific clauses please... As it stands, I disagree the FL policy will disadvantage current FOs in that respect.
As for the day off payment, they will be just as short and disorganised as before, so WDO payments wont change. If WDO payments were more expensive than employing pilots then one would think thats what they'd do. FL positions have a minimum gauranteed pay, so its in the companys interest to have them working, not sitting there ready to take up the slack.
