I was reading through your contract looking for where being scheduled like this is not allowed... Do you have a reference to help me out?

Obviously you have to have the 30 hours free from duty per 117, but that can be accomplished legally on a overnight, even though you and I both know that is no substitute for time at home.

Anybody hired today will not sit on reserve for long. Same thing happened when I was hired after a long period of stagnation and furloughs in the industry. You guys think you have it bad now, go back 10 years and try getting a job. Worst I've heard is guys being extended into a 7th day, which I believe is against the contract. 10 days wouldn't happen. The schedulers have been desperate and playing dirty since staffing on the fo side has been low. Once staffing is good these issues will occur less often. Hopefully the next ta has better reserve and work rules to vote on.

That remains to be seen. Are you talking about the number of FOs starting indoc? Or the number of FOs beinh signed off of OE? Unfortunately theres a sizeable gap between those two numbers.

Not sure where you've heard that from? I get rerouted a lot. But when the last leg of my trip blocks in, I grab my stuff and head to the gate to catch my commute home with ZERO issues.
I get junior man calls and I try to help whenever I can.
I've never been on more than 6 days in a row.

If it's against the contract, how does this happen?

Edit: not sure the upload worked so here's a link... http://tinypic.com/r/mmwg08/9

Exactly why I steered away from this company. After 5 years what's going to happen to air Wisconsin, is there going to be another mass exodus of pilots come the end of this contract with people entering now stuck in upgrades? I heard the class sizes are still relatively small

Last class had 7, I mean from what we were at before that's probably a lot. We're not filling them that's for sure.

Incorrect. Last class had 14. We have not seen a class of seven in months. Straight from the guy teaching the classes.
