Enjoy your abuse.
Yeah, we generally don't get extended into days off except for irops. We are also paid 150% at 3.75 min. We get pay protection. Unfortunately due to some bad language in the contract only reserves get the day off restored, but since it's been abused as of late by the company I imagine that is gonna be fixed in the next contract

Is there a reason that you come over to this corner of the messageboard to post negative things? Remember this is a small industry and people know who you are.

Unfortunately irops is not defined anywhere. People get extended all the time due to short staffing. A while back the company started a good faith effort to track and minimize extensions into days off. But come to think of it, I don't think that they have sent out those reports in a while. And the link on the company website for it has conveniently disappeared (although that was likely in conjunction with when all our servers crashed).

eh, I'm taking that with a grain of salt since you don't fly much. It's certainly better than it has been in the past, I haven't really heard of too many the past month or two but that's anecdotal and yeah the mysterious disappearance of those reports is probably part of their game.
I think short staffing is going to be a problem here for a while, as with most other regionals.

ExpressJet.

Glad I could be of service.

I hope sometime we get a Glossary of terms and abbreviations here (hint hint to the Moderators).

If it was set up, and submissions were requested, we would get a good population pretty quickly. I know I would be glad to submit a few dozen right off the top of my head.

With all the new hires over the next couple of decades, it would be a big asset.

What’s the average take home pay per month for a new FO on reserve followed by when you get a line? Is there much of a difference?

PSA is offering extra financial incentives that are on top of the already in place new hire bonus for anyone that meets the 121 minimum qualifications for captain

They are offering $20,000 on top of the $16,520 for anyone that has 1,000 121 hours that are willing to take a rapid upgrade. Also offering 5,000 if you have a CRJ type rating. Appears to be a pretty sweet deal to me.

My take home with 75hrs credit with per diem and no medical or dental coming out was 3200. I also don't pay state taxes and when I pick up medical next year it will be lower.
