These new CKAs to me are our worst representatives right now. Clearly going against union guidance for personal enrichment. I see many justifications and excuses but fact of the matter is that if the company didn’t get those 100+ bodies as new CKAs our leverage would be through the roof. Training is an absolute disaster right now as far as scheduling goes. Imagine how it’d look with 100+ fewer CKA.
Gross.
This is the part I don’t understand. What is the benefit of being a CKA? 96 hours a month? You could fly one PM trip and be over 110 easily. The job? It’s a tough job and you’re always being stretched super thin. Nights in the DFW training hotel during your Sim month and non stop OE during your flying month. Again all for 96 hours? Its a hard pass for me even if we weren’t in contract negotiations. Work harder for less money. Brilliant!
