Did I read you still have flight cases, no EFB yet?

Rumors on what new base to support all the new jets and pilots. If I had to guess Albany (maint) or Cleveland (HQ)?

Thanks a bunch.
Commuter parking covers up to $40/month.

Non revving on company metal we are SA0...only thing that can trump that is a mainliner using a vacation pass, or positive space (deadhead).

Nobody really knows when we’ll get EFBs.

No talk of new base.

You sure? Last time I commuted they would pay up to what your base parking would cost and they would pay more than that for an IAD based pilot.

Not sure what the upper limit is but they reimburse my 55/month for parking

No, not sure... This is what I was told I’d be reimbursed for when I started here, and this is what I pay anyway.
Maybe things changed...it’s been a while since I evaluated my parking options.

Edit: CBA does say paid up to the rate of your base. No idea what that is though...

Upgrade dropped to 6 months according to recruiting. The March hire is a friend and can verify he did get the call.

I know people senior to the March hire that have their CA bid in and haven't gotten the call. Something isn't right.

Does this someone have the time to upgrade? And do they have CA as their first choice?

Just flew with a guy senior to that as well, but had FO first and CA second preference. Did not get call.

I don't know if needing the time is a requirement to get the call. The union has told pilots to put in CA preferences even if you don't have the time in order to not 'bypass upgrade' in order to keep the Dash CA pay rate for FO.

The company is putting a ton of emphasis on pay rates lately (CQFs bidding as FOs getting paid as FOs, the DH pay on top of min guarantee, etc) and they might start cracking down on pilots bypassing CA.
