$10,000 paid after first anniversary, $8,000 (payable $2,000 per quarter) if pilot has not upgraded to Captain

$8,000 Type Rating Bonus

Pilots with Part 91K, 121 or 135 carrier with an ATP and type rating in an aircraft greater than 12,500 lbs. Paid at completion of IOE (approx 3-4 months)

The guy said he left “out on” IOE. So he would have only got 5K. He did not say he completed it.

And if he had completed IOE and then left after, he would owe the IOE 26K bonus back as mentioned above, as it doesn’t vest until months 13-24 prorated. How they would/could collect it is whole seperate discussion.

And if he didn't complete IOE he would also owe the first $5K back too. The 5K is only earned on completion of IOE

Anyone find what we actually gain from this TA?
Anything to address the endless Jr man calls and extensions and poor Qol we currently have?
We have kept this Co afloat with our sacrifice and hardwork and this is how we are shown appreciation??
Management has failed to come forward and let us know what the plan is going forward. We are loosing more than we can hire and get through training,yet they don’t see a problem.
Say no to extensions and Jr mans,go home on your scheduled off days and spend time with family and friends and take care of your personal business,don’t put it off for them. At the end of the day it’s managements responsibility to make sure we are properly staffed and flights get covered,not mine.Im tired of scheduling telling me if you don’t accept this extension or Jr man then these flights will cancel.From now on cancel the
MF then , I don’t care anymore.
I’m tired of mgmt sitting there quietly as we are working like dogs to keep this operation going. Eff em

Enhanced EWR and IAD flight schedules coming this fall

Customers in the New York area will soon enjoy access to more destinations, more non-stop flights and larger aircraft thanks to a series of schedule changes we announced today. Taking effect in October, these route adjustments will maximize the unique strengths of our two East Coast hubs by improving access to 17 popular markets from EWR while shifting short-haul connecting customers to IAD.


United offers more flights to more destinations from EWR than any other airline in the New York region – the largest air travel market in the country. At the same time, IAD offers connecting customers a more optimal schedule and better flight reliability in short-haul regional markets.


“Newark capacity is finite, so to grow we need to fly larger airplanes,” said Domestic Network VP Ankit Gupta. “Dulles has more capacity and, as such, presents a great opportunity for our connecting passengers who today make their connections in Newark.”


“Over the coming years, you’ll see us doing more of both – adding frequencies and connectivity in Dulles and eventually growing EWR to the point where it will be almost entirely mainline service,” Ankit added.


Here is a summary of the planned network changes we announced today, all effective October 4 unless otherwise noted:

Adding new nonstop seasonal service December 19-March 30 between EWR and PSP (Palm Springs, California)
Expanding seasonal service between EWR and EYW (Key West, Florida) to year-round
Increasing service to the following destinations from EWR: BNA (Nashville, Tennessee); BTV (Burlington, Vermont); CHS (Charleston, South Carolina); FLL (Fort Lauderdale, Florida); GSO (Greensboro, North Carolina); MCO (Orlando, Florida); MEM (Memphis, Tennessee); MSY (New Orleans, Louisiana); ORF (Norfolk, Virginia); PBI (West Palm Beach, Florida); PHX (Phoenix, Arizona); PIT (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania); RSW (Fort Myers, Florida); SAT (San Antonio, Texas); SRQ (Sarasota, Florida)
Reallocating United Express flights from AVP (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania), CHA (Chattanooga, Tennessee) and ITH (Ithaca, New York) from EWR to IAD
From EWR, we will discontinue service to BWI (Washington-Baltimore), BDL (Hartford, Connecticut) and DSM (Des Moines, Iowa). We will continue to serve BWI, BDL and DSM from multiple hubs
We will suspend winter season service December 19-March 30 between EWR and SMF (Sacramento, California)

“We approached these schedule adjustments with our customers in mind, knowing that we wanted to create a schedule that offers customers beginning their travel in the New York City area convenient flights to many of the business and leisure destinations they travel to most,” Ankit said. “Since more of our customers begin their travel from New York/Newark than any other United hub city, our team went to create a more customer friendly schedule that removed connection times and provided convenient nonstop service to multiple U.S. destinations.”


We are contacting our customers with reservations on discontinued flights to offer them alternate flight options or provide refunds. All changes will be reflected in published flight schedules effective May 12. All impacted destinations will continue to be served by at least one United hub.

Default XJT pilots stand with ARW pilots.

Stand strong ARW pilots. The time has come for all to stand together. United needs you guys. I think we will all be much closer soon. We stand with you and support you in gaining more.

Hear that BOB and JT holdings, we are sick and tired of covering your flying YOU cant staff, because of years of irogance on your part!
You will now offer us 10-20K a year as a retention bonus if you want AWA to be around in a year. Why on earth would anyone consider this dumpster?

I have never seen anything as appaulling, shockingly, pathetically bad as our leadership team here. Absolutely clueless. Its absolutely amazing how they are completely absent in times like this. No where to be found. Radio silence. Christine where are you? Still hiding behind that excuse "im not that good with communicating, its my weak spot" Bob where are you? Ya wanna let us in on your plan how yourw gonna fix this clusterfck? You may hate the pilot group here, and thats fine. We hate you too. But at the very least you owe it to your passengers depending on us. Our performance is horrid and its humiliating to the hard working professionals on the line who still care. What an absolute joke.

Great. More mainline jobs with mainline pay, just as the majors approach record numbers of mandatory age retirements. Prospects have seldom been brighter for those of us who were never planning to be regional lifers to begin with.
