Psycho Joe, not sure where you get your info from but you couldn't be further from the truth regarding augmented ops.
I spoke with someone who should know and the company presented an augmented crew section but both the unions wanted it removed because they didn't like the CASA NPRM on which the company section was based.
To say the company refused to discuss it is horse****.
snakecharma, I'm just going off what one of the unions has written in an update. I don't think that it's kosher to publish it here, but if you go to Virginetics, EBA, VIPA update-Dec 14 it contradicts everything that you just wrote.
