So there are going to be three aircraft leased to Northern Aviation from CAM. Two have been delivered. The one in the Aloha livery (399CM) is being flown by ATI for now. The one in the NAC livery (379CX) is in MIA and is being flown by NAC. The third one, which may end up in a Strat Air livery, is still being converted at TLV. (I have heard that the third a/c will have a Strat Air livery, and I have heard that it will have an NAC livery, and I have no idea which is true...)

So I think you're talking about 379CX. It has actually been doing 2 or 3 segments a day, 4 or 5 days per week. They are usually segments under 2 hours, though (including a few SJU-SDQ segments of about 40 minutes), so the aircraft is spending a lot of time on the ground in MIA and I can see why it might appear that it's not flying, but it is. Some, anyway. Here's a link to its recent history on Flightaware: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N379CX (You can see 14 days if you have a free registration.)

Any news on the Miami operation or on the contract/new 76 pay rates?

Second 767 for MIA (3rd in the fleet) is expected to be online in Miami by the end of the month. JCBA has been TA’d. Union informational meetings are scheduled for the end of the month. Nobody has heard what the 767 pay scales or work rules are yet.

I heard FEDEX plus 1%, home basing with 1st class tickets, 4 star hotels on layover, free beer provided after last flight of the day, and one free pass to your favorite strip club in MIA per month.
..... but then I woke up from my hangover..........

Haha that’s some funny stuff right there! Where do I apply?

crazycoconut

just head down to your favorite bar, have about ten beers and then go home and you will see that stuff in your next contract too.......

Any idea what upgrade looks like at Aloha? I've heard its 1000 121 but also 1000 company 121 so just wanted to get a better idea. More i talk to buddies at Aloha the better it sounds.

Thanks!

Aloha just hired a class of 4, but that will be the last class of hiring that Aloha does. All future hiring will go through NAC. TA will be voted on soon, if it is ratified, well then there really is no Aloha any more. All pilots will be merged to one seniority list the day after new contract is signed. Planes will still say Aloha Air Cargo but that will just be a brand. By first Q of 2019 all pilots will have completed transition training and be on the NAC certificate.

The upgrade requirements for NAC are FAA min. see FAR 121.436

Keep in mind, going forward NAC will have a 737 base in HNL, ANC and possibly LRD. My guess , HNL will be the senior base, so doubt a new hire would get it. But who knows, if there are a bunch of mainland pilots in the class and they don't want to move to HI , then maybe you could get it.
Main point, the old days of getting hired at Aloha Cargo and guaranteed to be based in HNL are over.

Does NAC have any 737 FO classes scheduled for the 4th quarter? Any plans to hire and interview more FOs in the near future?

With the merged seniority list, anyone have a rough estimate of time it takes for a new hire to hold HNL on 737? anyone commutes from HNL to ANC?
