AE's SUCK btw, just saying....
I'll Ive seen so far is a displacement into a lower paying airframe, block back to reserve, a follow on AE, but realistically another MD prior to conversion. I'm sure that MD will have another 210 day conversion for a total of 400+ days after my initial MD to the DC-9. Essentially seat locked after an MD because ATL over issues AE for morale that they knowingly will never honor; pseudo seat lock. This AE system is garbage.
On a positive note, a buddy of mine at another unnamed carrier picked up a better paying airframe two months after me, was paid for it the 1st of the following month and is already flying it while I plan my next MD. So much for the arbitrators' reasoning... I'd go back to fNWA tomorrow with 400 retirements in the rear view mirror.
On a different note, CRJ-900s parked at the main terminal in DTW.... Don't we have pay rates for those?
Sorry, grumpy after a four day with a reduced rest overnight before day four.
