Our flight benefits are probably better than anyone elses but still arent that great. Our contract *specifically the Reserve section* may as well not exist as the company has thrown it out completely. Schedules are terrible. Expect as as line holder to have 55-66 hours of credit a month with 11 days off. Expect to be commuting in a day early/the day after your trip as well. Right now it takes almost 4 years to hold a line in ORD. Im not sure about dfw but its probably close to the same. The flow, for now is working which is good. I personally expect that to stop after the 824 arbitrator award. Protected pilots are just covered under the contract and the company shows us all the time what they think of the contract. The company i believe a few times has said they wont flow the company out of existance, so... take that FWIW. We arent getting many new hires in the door, most of the movement we have is due to flow and attrition. Fortunately most of that attrition seems to be upward movement and not lateral movement like the company wanted.
