Default Hire Class

How many are showing up to class? Any no shows? What plane/base are new hires getting? When do find out? How is seniority decided in Indoc? Any delays in training after starting IOE?

Thanks…

Keep current contract until our side negotiates a deal for us that the pilot group likes. The current offer ain’t it. Why is that so hard to understand?

If you are a new hire in training and the pilot group were to go on strike what happens to you? Your not a pilot yet, and I certainly wouldn’t cross a picket line.

What if your out of training and a strike happens? You are still on probation, are you still guaranteed your job back when the strike ends?

Thanks!

Broad brush but at least a few no shows a class they know this now and started to over fill new hire classes by a few to hedge. It’s a mixed bag each class all bases and fleets just depends what they need a real mixed bag hard to say
age for seniority
airbus is running about 2.5 weeks for OE
Boeing running about 4-5 weeks

No. I think I'll continue. Because you're a joke to me with little comprehension skills.

Hey there, welcome to a part 121 carrier. If you're in training while a strike happens, then you show up to class as normal. You're still a pilot, you're just on probation. Probation lasts for one year, and during that time you don't do any union job action that reflects negatively on the company, which includes informational picketing and striking work. I am sure that the union will put out more information if it comes time for a strike, which would still be months away. The good news is that all the captains you would be paired with will be on strike (except management pilots and one other guy), so most likely your trip would cancel before you needed to show at the airport, but for the sake of your job during probation, you show up to work as normal.

I could be wrong, so definitely call your rep or wait for an official union email informing you what to do in the event of a strike.

Yeah I don't think so. The union would have guidance for those in class but I can't imagine any scenario in which new hires would be flying and not on the picket line, regardless of their probationary status.

Now you have me curious.. I would think on probation they wouldn't participate.. how many management pilots are there total? Not enough to even make a dent if we went on strike.
