Electronic Jepps? iPads?
Is there cancellation pay? Duty rigs? Is there a link to look at current contact?
When is the current contract up?
Any legit pros and cons would be appreciated. Yes I know about the regional life. Thinking about lateral move to get home based in DFW.
Proud of you all for taking a stand against consessions. A pilot group I'd like to be a part of.
Thanks in advance for the info.
I'll take a stab... DFW relatively JR, may take a few months but people are always transferring where their relative seniority is highest. Most jr CRJ base is IAD. Flight benefits are United and Delta, only get AA benefits of you're DFW based, but they are worthless.. Have to list 3 days in advance... That should tell you enough...
ATL, DFW, IAD are the 200 bases.. DTW and ATL are 7/900 bases. Most jr of those 2 is obviously DTW.... Training is AQP... Currently testing iPads, hopefully be on line by summer 2014. Right now we have to lug everything around. CNX pay is on a leg per leg basis. Duty rig of 3.86 hrs per day. However if a fellow crewmwmber wants you to pick up an Augusta r/t from aTL it's block only, rig won't apply.
Just had a contract vote Jan 14th and got voted down by 83%. Still currently in negotiations.
DFW wouldn't take long.. A lot of people getting hired on and moving out so a lot of shifting around.
Good luck.
