The fact that people are bypassing upgrade because no wants to commute to the sh*thole that is Dayton, OH. Even an offer of a contractually illegal 1,500 dollars wasn’t enough.

The issue is the net change. If we gain four but lose 15 each month on a list of approximately 300 CAs, it doesn't take long to have really detrimental effects.

That makes sense. It doesn't sound like too many people are a fan of Dayton. From the outside looking in, what makes Dayton so undesirable?

Commute can be difficult, usually two legs for most, and early start/late finishes. It's a horrible base.

2-leg commute for most people. Nearly all uncommutable pairings, on both ends. Good 40%+ of pairings are split as well, so another hotel in base mid- sequence. I guess the 1500 might cover some of those expenses, but you'll be spending 6 days a week at or getting to/from work.

Speaking of approximately 300 CAs, does anyone know if we ever got back up to the contractually required 305+ CA number?

235 by my quick sh*tty math. I was off quite a bit on my approx 300 estimate. That makes the -10/month net even worse.

40% split?? No it’s more like 70% split pairing. I think last month there were less than 20 4 day trips totals. Not to mention NO hotels that have a reliable shuttle. Even the holiday inn shuttle stops working or isn’t available at random times. The holiday inn stopped honoring the crew rate and it stopped showing up on the travel site for us to book at random times. All the crash pads require a roughly $15-20 Uber. Which on reserve means you could be spending $100-150+ a week in Uber

Default A Couple general schedule questions

- How prevalent are high-speed or standup overnights at Air Whisky? Particularly out of DAY, IAD, and MKE?

- Once a pilot (FO or CA) can hold a line, what is the consistency of the trip construction? Are they typically AM or PM schedules? Or do they oscillate between mornings and nights within trips? E.g. first two days of a 4 day trip are mornings, last two days are nights, etc.

- To the general audience of Air Whisky pilots here: is there anything you wish you knew before joining Air Whisky? Anything helpful you think others should know before hopping on board? [barring any discussions of the contract ending in Feb-2023]

Thank you in advance.
