So what happened with the west bid? I don't see the results on wings. Are there new hires needed in PHX? Did cacti get his captain seat back?

 

Sounds like a handful of PHX new hires in the next class 2/24 and a few more in 3/24 class....

 

So if one (new hire) were to wind up in PHX....what does the picture look like as far as schedules, crash pads, etc versus getting awarded CLT? I'm in the 2/24 class and I live in Little Rock and will be commuting for a few years. Lots of mainline options out west but it's a double hop. CLT can be a single leg commute but I've only got three RJ flights to choose from.

 

Last bid had the followig open for new hires in CLT:

11 A319
8 75/76

If you go to PHX, you will be stuck there until the SLI is done.

 

Has this been confirmed?

 

I realize that, just wondering what, if any movement there is, and what reserve would be like there vice CLT.

 

Yup, 757 captain byotch. Oh yeah, mid 1998 hire.

 

Yes, the MOU doesn't allow for a single east west list until MB. Now the APA can change that if they so choose when they take over.

 

Can always count on you to keep it classy. Congrats.

 

Make sure you tell them the entire story Leo.

Four 757 Captain slots were awarded to mid 98 hires because of
re-instatement rights under the America West Pilot's contract. That provision will go away once their is a JCBA. The 13 Narrowbody Airbus Captain slots that were awarded without re-instatement rights went almost 100 numbers senior. Until December 9th, 2013, 757 paid the same as the Narrowbody Airbus. In the past, 757 Captain went as junior as Airbus Captain because it was the same pay rate. Crazy thing is, a senior reserve or line holding A330 F/O or AB320 Captain will make more than you as the bottom 757 Captain. On future PHX bids, 757 Captain will go much more senior. You will be on the bottom until you're displaced. You won't have weekends or holidays off anymore. But the good news is, you won't have to work as hard for the same amount of money. However you will be a slave to your phone and Crew Scheduling.
