Pos space commuting. That would be a good start... I’m sure I’m missing a lot.
Add transportation to the training center for west coast pilots with double E sim periods for recurrent. The move from the Holiday Inn North to the new “safe” hotels has resulted in no shuttle at 3AM to get back to the hotel. And for all west coast pilots on the 320, your choices for recurrent will be nothing but double E periods for the “foreseeable” future. This **** is getting old fast.

To save people from going to go look for them, they all start with a late night departure to DTW, medium length turn on the ground, then fly a morning departure at ATL then layover. No deadheading.

there were quite a few of these a couple years ago...LAX-BOS...sit 2 hours, deadhead to FLL or RSW for a day layover...fly that night. I think people were fatiguing out before the trip even started...

How does moving ones vacation work if I’ve been awarded a new position but have not converted yet? Is the vacation move up function based on my current position or the new one?

Thank you.

It would be based on your current category but since we got a big improvement and now keep our vacations when converting it should not matter.

Anyone else think they'll double train some affected pilots going back to widebody with so many bids and TOE delays to just get everyone on the line ASAP. Supposedly some people are saying they see this being the only solution. I guess if they did a big convert and trained out of order, that would make the most sense and probably save the most money. Hard to get any Intel

‘This exact scenario happened to me this month. Double E periods and shuttle to hotel stops at midnight. Fortunately my instructors were great and gave me a ride back to the hotel. I wrote it up on the critique.

I would have taken a cab and expensed it to the company.
