Congrats to all the poolies!! That's great to see peeps getting there, really cool.
On the other end, I feel sometimes like a looser with this company. I have applied since 2011, updated regularly the resume and paq. Never got any calls or emails. Plenty of 121 rj time, 8000TT, 900 jet PIC, 1 job fair, 1 internal, nothing to hide, perfect record, nada...
I keep the faith though. Will be at OBAP to say hi, see if that helps somehow... if not, I'll start giving free carwash in the emplyee lot in purchase, NY or something.
Squeeky wheel get the grease, this one has been squeeking for a while now.

The dozen or so guys that live abroad are welcome to make their case to the negotiating folks, but how much capital they wish to burn up just to get something that matters to a minute section of our population is yet to be determined.

And not only what you said, but there are definitely ways to make gateway/whatever better for all pilots, including ones overseas.

It doesn't have to be either or, the right language benefits everyone.

I know you're in agreement that this group is sick of clauses benefiting a small slice of the group to the detriment of the majority.

Does anyone know any potential class dates after Aug 17th and 24th? After this Aug 17th 767 class, will there be more 767 hiring or will it be mostly 747 for a while?

More interviews planned for the end of August. The latest is 747 class every three weeks, 767 as needed and when OE is caught up.

All patterns need to start and end in your base.

They don't. Some bases, most trips start and end in your base. Other bases, like JFK, they hardly ever start OR end in your base.

So if you are making a deal with scheduling to start from overseas the only way to contractually do it is to have a pattern built as if you started from your base. In that case the trip should have gone to open time and awarded by seniority.

Not correct. For example, I have had trips that start in HSV. I am scheduled to be Gatewayed to HSV, then DH on Atlas to Europe, then hotel, then maybe DH or airline to somewhere else in Europe, or the Middle East, then have my first operating leg. If I was living (or visiting) in Europe, I could simple get airlined to the location in Europe or the ME where my trip started, and go from there. Nothing illegal about that.

Lost in translation perhaps... The point is that the trip must be constructed showing legal rest and beginning and ending in your base.

Thus if you want to operate out of HKG to somewhere else the pattern must be able to show ANC-HKG, proper rest, then begin.

In another month my schedule showed that I started in HSV with a commercial to FRA, however I never saw HSV, commercial flight from home to FRA. Regardless of what you actually do they have to show on the schedule that you start and end at your base, whether or not you see it is another thing.
