Endeavor pilots rarely get first or business because of two things. 1) how often do you have deadheads > 3.5 hours? 2) when you do, how many pilots even realize they should be bumped up?
When the company was sending pilots to Belgium for CRJ900 training many, many pilots rode first or business. I distinctly remember the company trying to wiggle out of it.
MSP-ATL was a bad example, it was the most recent painful memory. Did plenty of LGA-OMA, LGA-DSM, and some ATL-LAS DHs while on reserve and was always told DL’s policy against booking pilots in FC negated that portion of 9E’s contract. When 9E sends a 200 to the desert and DHs the pilots back to ATL or NYC, nobody’s booked in FC. Didn’t do any overseas training so can’t comment there, that was also during what is now an outdated contract but not sure if the language changed.
Apologies for the thread takeover. Back to the strike vote
