Is the SEA base rumor still floating around?

Recent newsletter pointed to an increasing need for an additional west coast base. To me, this means that SLC or SEA is a possibility. I was doing some flying through SEA recently and had some ops folks outline what they knew about Delta's expansion there...sounds like an increase in daily departures from around 60-70 to around 140-150 by next summer. That sure makes SEA still look possible.

They'll probably just give all those Comair folks their guaranteed interviews instead.

Thanks for the info!

What's your contract like? Any negotiated future pay increases? I'm curious about the following... I know the APC page has some things, but I know it's info about my own company is usually old enough to be outdated, so if you don't mind answering...

- Minimum day credit for both day trips and multi-day trips?
- Deadhead pay?
- Trip rigs or duty rigs?
- Pay and housing during training?


I apologize if this info is floating around out there and I missed it...

How about scheduling language and premium pay?

There is a premium pick up window that is new and it is open for 72 hours following the bid award. Also, scheduling can give out critical pay when needed.

There is a type of cancellation pay. It is trip guarantee and not by the leg, but sure beats nothing.

Other than that It seems pretty standard to me.

Not sure if they are going to consider 1500 h pilots with no prior 121/135.
The sad part is this flying was supposed to go to envoy!
The last captain I flew with said he has been seeing more and more new hires with zero previous 121 time. They were just flight instructors waiting their turn. When the hiring first started about a year ago it was almost all previous 121 pilots for the first several months. Not anymore.

I was pulled off my last turn on my last trip and was pay protected for those two legs.
