If they approve LIDO, hopefully never. Electronic Jepps would be a dream com true compared to LIDO. LIDO's are garbage IMO. Other airlines have tried them, and dropped them. All for the same reason. They just are not quality. Typos, missprints, important info either not on the chart or burried in the textuals. With jepps all the info you need is right in the chart. With lido, you HAVE to read the textual to make sure you are not missing anything important (because its not on the graphical).

At the end of the day, this is what the vocal minority wanted. They managed to sway the entire pilot group into voting a trip rig out. You reap what you sow.
If 4 hrs. pay on a day at a hotel was in effect for June I'd have gotten 2 more days off because of the 8 hrs. extra credit added to my bid.

Yes, I want that.

On the other hand, several of my trips add up to pretty much exactly the rig which does me no good. And if its true that pay for day long sits was supposed to be in effect for June you can bet I'll be filing a grievance and telling everyone else to as well.

So changing the topic a bit: the latest bid is showing the most junior Captain starting class on July 1st with the late November 2014 hire date. It makes it 7 months then (if you count from the new hire class to the upgrade class date). It will get even lower but no street Captains in my opinion any time soon...

It will be interesting to see how far down the Alternate Captains go, but I agree, I don't see street captains anytime soon.

Agree. It will fluctuate back and forth between November and Dec as most junior CA as bypassed FOs get their 1000 121 and upgrade.

Still incorrect. Even with the ADTG, we still had min day pay of 4 hours when there was a duty period. So, in the example, it would have always paid 11 hours. ADTG only set a min average daily value as a trip rig...on top of our already set min day pay of 4 hrs.

4hrs of pay and credit starts in July. I guess they couldn't get everything ready for June.

You are correct. Not sure how i fudged that one up.

if we'll be implementing 4 hrs pay and credit i assume (hope?) schedules will get better next month.
