So basically some pilots could have had an additional 7 days off in the month and still come out ahead.
MAG has taken a complete lackadaisical approach to the implementation of 117 and furthermore pilots are growing increasingly frustrated with the secrecy of the E175 program. The initial cadre has been selected for the project. Yet no one knows who has actually gone or how they were selected. Doesn't really matter but the only details company wide being received were from the former VP of Flight ops emails that left much to be desired? Currently CRJ upgrades are merely a trickle.
Middle of the road captains are trying desperately to get out ... But are getting reject letters. Mainline wants any name other than Bob,Steve or Tim etc.
I'm looking to jump based purely off MAG Mgmts. eminating disrespect for me as a professional. To work in an environment that is so self-deprecating is quite exhausting. *
*here comes a statement from prior121
The E-175 program sounds a lot like the Desert Sun issue we had a while back. Risley handpicked the guys to go fly those Fokkers and operated it as a different company (so they were essentially off the seniority list). Then when it failed, he brought them all back without a loss of seniority. Didn't they do that again with Freedom Air? Was there any action taken by ALPA for the seniority issues?
