Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it.
Another day in the airline business. Unforutnately, it seems.

As far as benefits, it's near the bottom of the barrel with respect to other airlines. Our medical "insurance" is a high deductible plan that is basically catastrophic coverage. Unfortunately, many other companies are heading that way as well. Dental is middle of the road and vision used to be good but we switched providers and I haven't used it yet. Very low match on the 401(k) at 4%. For a family, you'll pay about $350/month for all of it (not including HSA contributions).
The training department is getting better but it is overwhelmed now. And yes, it has been described by many as a "testing" department.

Training pay is now 70 hour guarantee. Still no accommodations or rental car for Ground School, but it appears they're putting folks up when they start CPT's & Sims.
Pretty wild that the NH class of 19 that started last Friday is going to the 757 & AB!! I'm sure there are plenty of FOs out on the Line that would've liked to have been able to bid for those slots. Guess they've gotta remain 'flexible!' :/

Unless they are either seat locked or no one else has it in their bid choices. Maybe someone more industrious can verify.

Its surprising what some people will do to "improve" their "status."
You'd think they'd remember from their first job hunt. I remember to this day the stress of trying to go from the military to the airlines.
Those are the guys angling for a management job.

They are losing so many good people every week.
In 2015....
United to hire around 100/mo
Delta to hire 85/mo
AA/USAir to hire (?)/mo
Yet they want to stand in front of recurrent and tell people that the scheduling proposal by the union will never pass in any way. They want to continue trying to get courts to overturn our wins. They want to make Merlot run a PBS system that is in no way is PBS.
I don't want to leave but this week is their last chance for me and many others I know to see a clear change in philosophy.

Me too. I am getting my resume together. At first I thought of it as their negotiating tactics to delay and treat it all like a joke. Now it is just becoming insulting. People are pouring their heart and soul into this effort, just like we did to help build this place. To be so dismissive is just an insult. Many of us have been here years longer than a lot of our management. We put a lot of effort into carrying the operation when everything was in complete disarray. For years we did the job of every other department and to some extent continue to today. All we ever asked for is a fair and reasonable contract. They are proving to be completely beyond simple reasoning. It is going to get ugly. I might be here for it or I might just get the applications out and see what happens.

Alright, its me, Dawg, AZ and now Autothrust who are disgruntled with g4 emt. That’s now a grand total of four g4 pilots that don’t like the actions of our emt. I think I’m starting to see a trend here?
