Now, we see 4-days worth 13-17 hours; so you're away from base/ home just as long but getting less for it.
2. I've only heard IAH then ORD
3. As long as we don't acquire 100 new airplanes that we can't staff (which hasn't been a problem so far) we should be fine. Expansion means less time on reserve, better schedules, and possibly new bases that could make commuting easier if you commute. The down side is that as long as we have full classes, management won't have much incentive to offer an acceptable contract.
So not only is the pay horrible, but the trip credit is even worse... Your 4 day trips credit less than our 3 days(even before 117), and now by your own admission credit about the same as our 2 day trips.
Maybe you(and others) should stop promoting Mesa as a good place for new hires?
P.S. Just heard that now J.O. is pulling more shenanigans with the share you have to pay for medical. It's really time to stop the cheerleading!
