    What needs to be done to keep a captain qualified as a first officer? What is the legal difference between the two that requires two different qualifications?

    And I understand that the union would want to protect captains from being demoted on flights, which is why the airline and the union would need to negotiate on this program. However, you still have an absolute shortage of qualified captains and this can be a way to address it. Why not at least try?
