Well, I just read the FCIF...it will be interesting to see whether it will go senior or if it will stay junior again.

I wouldn’t want to fly with a SIBA F/O out of Hong Kong. That group is obviously to smart for the system and would prefer to be “on the clock” 24 hours a day and paid for their services whether it be in an Airbus or on a public train. Captain could have the weekend off in a tiny apartment and the F/O had a weekend layover at the hotel. What amount of experience could a Captain pass on? Why did the Captain seats get filled in such an expensive arena?

I assume most of the Capt seats got filled by upgrading f/o's (at least they'll get a decent pay raise and a meager COLA payment)?

I thought that is what "the girls" referred to him as!

So would you rather fly with an FO who is on SIBA or an STV. Personnaly, I would rather have the choice of whether I get paid on a trip, vice getting per diem on my days off. I think the FO who comes from the hotel vice the tiny apartment just made a personal choice. OBTW, the junior captain isn't much senior than the junior FO's.

Hey Max! Yeah, that's what I'm hearing too. Although I'm not worried. The Pack isn't as good as their record and we've just changed our QB--so I'm convinced that we'll still be in the Super Bowl. I appreciate your calling me out though!
