Also I guess we should now plan for extra time in the KCM lines. Delta FAs are now allowed as well. Not bashing, just pointing out the line will be longer.

At some major airlines the new hire FOs started flying 18 months ago and have 205 hours.
What could possibly go wrong?

Etihad's first Emirati female pilot sees action - Transport - ArabianBusiness.com
Did you see the sidebar with the article on its first female Capt? A French lady hired in 07! now a Captain.

And we're hiring 300 next year. I'm not going to be a grouch. I'm going to be an optimist, and wager on the best possible outcome: within in 24 months, all we lose is KCM for all, and maybe CASS escapes unscathed.

"How" has already been sufficiently developed on the "KCM for FA's" thread.

Was that last pic taken in the Ethiad crew lounge? We need nicer digs for hub sits!

How might this affect the "Guaranteed interview"?
Apparently the one shot policy has been circumvented.

Now I am starting to wonder who at Delta was in on these negotiations. There are many long standing Delta policies which have been ignored.

The clean up on this is going to be interesting to watch.

The one shot policy has been circumvented, and classes are going to be completely packed with flows, leaving little room for military people.

I bet flight ops is going to be ticked.

This sounds like it might screw guys like me hoping to get on. Really hoping that they limit flows

This could set a bad precedent.
