This is (or at least was, don't know if it's still on the table) being discussed by ALPA and XJT mgmt. Just like FAs, the company isn't forcing anyone to go PT, its entirely voluntary. If someone can afford it and wants to be home for their kids baseball or soccer season, why force them to work...
For JQF/Clt check out flycarolina.com. I have no personal experiences with them. ISO Aero was good at JQF but they've pulled out of Concord after I finished my training.
I'm with you, I'm for one list. But like aerobat stated, I think it's going to be hard sell. Until SKYW gets the raw end, we're the whipping boy. ALPA has tried to get them on board before, to no avail obviously.
So you're saying we need one list for 3 companies. Ok, so let's try once more to get SKYW guys on board. Good luck getting their guys to sign on to something that puts XJET guys ahead of any SKYW pilots. Most of them don't want our union, nor do they want to give up 2% a month. You have to...
That is true that contract negotiations are going to take forever, and THEN they start the SLI. It'll be a while.
The new XJET guy in scheduling will NOT make any difference. He may be a great guy with good intentions, but GED level employees and crap mgmt will see to that. There's a new...
There's a big difference in accepting an aircraft because we're trained to handle no AP, no FMS, on a bad WX night down the East Coast (did it myself a few weeks ago), and refusing an aircraft based on all that + long duty or rough day (fatigue). Sure, any one of us SHOULD be able to handle...
Dude, SH has been saying this is coming since early 2011. "Detroit is a sure thing, Memphis is just a little behind, about 80% done."
As per all FI/crewroom/lounge rumors: I'll believe that when me ******************** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.
This on top of the XJet dispatch meltdown of late sept? Welcome to our advanced, top of the line SkyWest/ASA computer system.
Although I do admit, the one thing that is consistent is that I must change my password every 3 weeks!
Has anyone else seen this cr@p "news"?
New security screening equipment installed at CVG, MSP, JAX, NEW, SRQ and TUL September 20, 2011. A new security screening device called AT2, or Advanced...
Am I the only one who can't access the survey? (page not found)
SKYW IT is excellent! I guess it could be worse, all the dispatch computers could crash causing the airline to come to a stop... wait that did happen.
Did anyone else notice the comments were disabled for the SureJet announcement? Then, the post about the announcement event where employees were posting comments about how lame the new name is was deleted? The GO doesn't give a sh*% about we think.
At least ASAs money went to a good cause...
Are there any fixed wing EMS operators that are comparable to an airline career in terms of pay/QOL?
Anyone have info on MedCenter Air (Carolina's Medical Center)?
That's a good book about business management, not just pilot porn like AOPA and Plane&Pilot.
New student starts are down everywhere. I know of more than a couple flight schools that have closed their doors.
I don't believe they have bridge programs there anymore, not in the past 5 years since...
I had a cookout and everyone that showed up is on first year pay. Maybe we're the lucky ones with the day off or there are enough guys/gals behind us to get screwed.
This morning was back to normal ops, waited 50 mins for our gate to open and had the privledge to share the experience with at...
I agree with you 110%!!! That is exactly what I'm talking about! Being professional, on time, and knowing that what I do know, is just the tip of the iceburg. I never said that I am better than a pilot who has been flying airliners longer than my life, and by no means do I believe that. I want...
Although I've been cruising around here a few months, I haven't posted much, but I feel I've been dragged into this one. Now before you all start up the flamethrowers to grill me let me explain and tell you a little bit about myself.
First off let me confess that I am the one flying the...
proper response is either "Traffic in sight" or "Negative Contact". None of this "umm were uh looking for the guy" or "dont have the beech baron in sight just yet".
Also please DON'T say "with you" or "checking in". That bugs the crap outta me hearing people "Check in" to the approach...
