Jump seated tonight with a person on the hiring committee. App window is open. Only a small amount to cover 717s as previously briefed. Comair not getting preferential treatment.

War Eagle!

flight hours comes closer to showing work but even then I'd argue when you are called out a trip then most of the time you have little control over whether you're flying a 23 hour four day or a 15 hour four day, or a 8 hour day trip of a deadhead to a 1 hour flight to a deadhead home.

what i'd like to see if days worked off LC plus SCs sat plus days worked off SC.

I think you have to let those go. We all get vacation and junior and senior get MIL leave so I'm glad we get credit for that. Who wants to come back from 2 weeks vacation only to kill yourself the last two weeks working.

I would like to see the SC's go out just like the next flying assignment. Based off of the RAW bucket. Not cool to do back to back 4 days and then be the only one without a SC so you get nailed.

Otherwise I think the system is ok. I am probably the most junior guy on this board and I managed a 52 raw (apx) for the month. Sat 3 sc's and 4 days of flying. Now if I followed my new hire buddies over to the ER I would likely be getting kicked in the balls.

Want QOL? I say junior equip is the way to go! ;)

Totally agree on the SCs. They shouldn't be seperate buckets from the overall. I flew until i was in a different bucket than the senior people for may, june, and july... then got short calls and got called out on them while the senior guys were sitting long call who had already burned their short calls.

First time I have heard of someone talking to someone directly...still sounds like I am getting third to fourth hand info but I'll take it. Until someone can post some proof that is...bring on the classes.:D

mil leave isn't subject to normal recall... they come back and go all the time.

If so good, it means they will hold bodies in larger jets.

Vandy "sticker boob" was just wrong.

Seeing something that every year gets further (impossibly further) from my grasp makes me sad. There was a time in my prime that it would have been me with a beer in my hand behind the camera taking the picture.
