I seem to have more consistently smooth and accurate landings in the -400. Could be that I've got more practice where it counts in the arctic and southeast. That being said, I really like the smooth thrust levers and controls of the NGs. I flew a month of ANC-SEA-IAH in the 900ER (into some...
NEW Reduced Line Value MOU Fails Membership Ratification - Friday, August 07, 2009
The Reduced Line Value MOU has failed to pass membership ratification, with a vote of 83.3% against and 16.70% for ratification. A total of 1,078 pilots—82.73% of pilots who were...
Not flaming or playing sides, just trying to figure this out. . . .
Those numbers reflect the summer schedule. What happens in the fall when the daily ANC-DEN, -SFO, -ORD, -DLG, -AKN go away and daily ANC-SEA drops from 20 flights to 16? From what I understand all the new flights (ATL, AUS...
My crystal ball shows Skywest SEA, PDX and LAX RJ bases flying the lean mid-haul routes as "Delta Connection" feeding Alaska, Horizon's RJs gone, the Q400 flies the high-frequency and short-haul runs.
Just downloaded the Nov. bid packet (BidPro) and our ANC lines went from 72 last month to 59 this month. That's a lot more than 11% reduction in flying.
I'm trying to figure this whole thing out. . . If they plan on sending notices next week will it just be sloughing off the bottom 30-40? So the captain lists will be pretty fat, no? So in order to make it all work, they'll need to downgrade a bunch of captains. Now if they do that, as I...
Eight of us started class today. Four are from Skywest (2 CRJ CA and 2 EMB CA), one 1900 driver from Frontier Flying Service, Fairbanks, 1 Eagle FO, 1 Empire ATR cargo guy, and 1 furloughed United/ex-Horizon/corporate.
Here's the breakdown for base positions:
6 737 ANC
2 737 LAX
Haven't...
700 tools, 8% cut? huh?
I don't quite understad your complaint (is that what you're doing?). . . the airline is making money thus putting more money in our pockets and strengthening our stability. To me this sounds like a good thing. . .
. . .but then again, I'm a regular Kool Aid drinker...
1. Will it ever be enough?
2. I start spending money I don't have when I'm home too much!
3-9. Yup.
Come on over to Skywest. The Kool-aid tastes great!!
Heard this week from one of the PBS trainers that once the whole company goes live with PBS, crew planning will use their current line building time to build better pairings. Up until now they've been building pairings to create legal lines that make sense (in their eyes, at least). Now they can...
Thanks all for the info. I contacted Texas about past driving records and without my old driver license number they can't pull up any records past 3 years. I think I'll just piece together as best as I can recall....
...now, back to the logbook...
