Stop calling it a 4 hr min day and I won't have to keep correcting you.

With the adtg now gone, 2 days can pay 4:00 (adtg min 9:30), 3 days 8:00 (adtg min 14:15), 4 days 12:00 (adtg min 19:00) and 5 days 16:00 (adtg min 23:15).

Please don't be shocked when you see these trips.

I for one welcome our 4 hour min day overlords

When the dust settles, I will be fairly senior and will benefit more from the 4 hours pay/credit option for a calendar day without duty. It will be a good addition to add 4 hours on top of an already high credit/day trip.

The reserve pilots and pilots looking to trade their bad trips with open time trips will no longer be able to benefit from the adtg minimums it supplied since we no longer have a min day provision.

im kinda curious how long the company will require to implement the pay and credit. Earlier they wanted up to six months for the credit due to software limitations. 25% of the voters may be gone before implementation.

Hiring 40 per month through August, so no..

Has anyone gone to the sims in DFW yet? It is official now, buddy got awarded all his sim stuff there...wondering if anyone has the scoop on our hotel (how close to training), Courtyard Marriot, and whats around?

The first ever sim events will be on 2/5 IIRC.

Has anyone started recently? What all does the one day orientation contain? Assuming mostly HR stuff and your home study.

Also, I have heard you should be able to jumpseat home with not problems that afternoon, so no need to buy a return ticket. Can anyone who has started recently confirm this?

Not important, just it is nice to have, are you in KCM at that point? With the change in the uniform policy one wouldn't have to wait for their uniform to use KCM, but when are you in the system?

The first 30 minutes was spent listening to a credit union sales pitch.

Then we learned about some general policies (12 hr bottle to throttle being one of them). When we were done with all the general stuff, we ate lunch (Compass provided Jimmy Johns) and talked with the chief pilot. Afterwards we got set up for all the CBT's by one of the ground instructors. We were done by 2 pm.

They will already have you in cass that morning and a company badge will be sitting on your desk. Travel home was a breeze.
