Decent movement? I’m actually moving down the list in Oct... been in CLT for years and my % seniority has barely changed. CLT has the most retirements, but has a ton of people bidding in. Also, the company is shrinking the number of pilots there for some odd reason.

I’d say it would probably be a couple more years to see ‘decent’ movement, unless a 737 base is announced.

The company has figured out they can use Out of Base Make Up to staff the flying in CLT. Lots of people live here, are way more senior in other bases, drop those trips, then grab CLT trips before they make it to premium.

Did I understand that correctly, you’re monthly guarantee for first year is 91 hrs regardless of sc, lc, or lineholder?

No it’s 91 dollars per hour. 76 hours for short call, 73 for long and line values vary every month. If you can hold a line it’s pretty easy to do 82-85.

$91 per hour. Hourly guarantee differs depending on schedule.

From what I gather LGA is the fastest time to a line out of training. Probably where I will bid if nothing else changes.

There’s more to it than that. If you bid the bus, lga only has domestic, so you can’t pick up out of base intl (phl/Clt/dca/Mia).

And I believe most NY trips are uncommutable on one end.

But at least you will be working 17 days and 90hrs with an all weekend schedule to make up for it. Pre-ACD it was 20 days so I guess we are making progress
