The pilots are just beginning to bid for the freighter positions (based on seniority). They will be flown by AC pilots under the same master seniority list (similar how Rouge were flown by AC pilots on the seniority list who bid to Rouge positions).
Rouge had its separate AOC (which requires separate operations manual, training system, regulatory positions to name a few, so it's not entirely a simple process to get an AOC). I wonder whether they will apply for another AOC or just put it under either AC or Rouge AOC)
