ExpressJet - Making the move?

[aviator202]

Very curious to know how many Dispatchers and other SOCC personnel will be making the move to Atlanta? Anyone have any accurate numbers?

Well, ASA did just post for DX in ATL, so...

Yep, we just completed a class of 5....Now hiring for a class of 7.....

Are the new hires to replace XJT dx'rs not making the move?

What's the starting pay at ASA now?

Since PAFCA represents ASA Dispatchers and TWU represents ExpressJet Dispatchers, scope rules the day when it comes to who can do the dispatch function...since we are not yet a single carrier and have not had the representational election nor negotiated a JCBA. Starting pay as well as everything else will be subject to the new JCBA. Gad, here we go again with the negotiation!

As of today 62 current and qualified Dispatchers are headed to the ATL.

Too crappy to apply for the gig (15.38 per hour, according to the current contract - and they will not pay for experience)

SP356, thank you for your response. I have developed a number of sources regarding the migration from Houston to Atlanta. I must say, compared with the other sources, your numbers seem to be much in doubt. At this time, it would seem that half that number will actually arrive.

Time will tell........We shall see.....

Do you really believe what JE is reporting back? LOL. However, I would agree the number could change based on many factors. In regard to the poster about wages, he is correct. Our current 12 year guy is making $3.54 an hour more than your 18 year guy, base pay...
