You didn't add anything. So keep trying.

Year plus exception of LA...likely half a year or less. Then you’ll be initially be holding redeye lines. All this varies on classes hired after you etc. Best of luck hopefully someone better calls you soon.

In all seriousness, can someone please tell me where this no trading thing comes from. I have been a line holder for all of 2 months now and traded away to build a really nice schedule.

December, got a JFK all nighter traded for ANC 2 day during first step to get a day off I needed. After all bidding closed and P2P opened someone grabbed 2 of my advertised ORD all nighters, one was on the weekend and I picked 3 P2P turns including a DFW evening turn.85 hrs credit. 19 days off and only 6 nights in a hotel. 2 out of 5 saturdays off 3 out of 5 Sundays off. In January I dropped 3 trips in first step and picked up 3 turns. I am working 1 weekend in January. and 6 nights in a Hotel again. Had 1 2 day added in 2nd step for low block.

So how can I trade at the bottom of list and no one else can?

Yes, this can suck for commuters but I have picked up a few extra turns this month from commuters putting their victory lap up for grabs.

If you get hired here great. Work to make it better and apply elsewhere. If someone else calls and you get hired, make your decision on whether to leave based on what you have experienced.

Staying a regional to wait for another call is just silly.



So what trading are you all talking about? Are you trying to trade crappy trips for good ones?

Jetlife

I know at least on the Airbus side, the reserve thresholds are such that it is very hard to trade trips out of open time, and next to impossible to drop.

I can list anything I want for drop or trade just like everyone else and hope that it works out but from a scheduling standpoint, it is much harder to get approved for trades and drops.

Your making everyone dumber with the scab based leap of logic. I think that’s all people are trying to convey to you.

PNWFlyer

Ok, so all of you are talking about trades and drops from open time. Yeah, that sucks and doesn't seem to work.... ever. I quit looking at open time and just do P2P.

For those of you who got the invite for the meet and greet, did you select Airbus or Boeing for your application?

For new hires how are aircraft assigned?

Fgrosoli

I selected Boeing but will take whatever to be honest. The only important element is being based in LAX...

PNWFlyer

By age. Oldest picks first.

They will have a list with aircraft and base. LA continues to be the Jr base.

Jesus christ! **** off! The guy wants to earn a better paycheck and you call him a scab?
