johnso, you're exactly the guy I was thinking about when I said "unable to break the two events apart from the data stream."
There are numerous actions going on here, each one results in a gain or loss in "required new pilots". You look at the total, see that it's positive, and discount anyone's concerns that it should or could have been higher. If we are unwilling to look at the results of individual changes to the contract, and analyze how each change actually affected us, we will never be able to form a basis for understanding and valuing contract tweaks and changes in the future. Your attitude quells discussion of these individual results, and does not serve us well in being informed decision makers in the future.

Filed this statement with the SEC many times. Not shrinking, not growing, neutral. ANY observed differences in pilot manning that can be attributed to 7ER factors that are NOT balanced by other gains (capacity neutral), should be analyzed and discussed to isolate where the differences originate, and if in fact we are seeing changes NOT offset by 900s and 88s gained that result in capacity neutral.

-- ALV+15, results in some reduced # of pilots required due to reserves being able/allowed to be flown to approx 100 hours if needed by company vs. only 68 previously, during peak months. Allows company to man reserves for LOW months and bump UP in peak months, vs. man for peak months and have extra dudes for low months.

And how did I attack you? I simply stated the reason why slots weren't back filled. And it's not a surprise as Crew Resources told us they would not back fill anyone on this AE. The entire point of this AE(which was stated by Crew Resources) was to staff the M88 fleet in time for 3/2014 which will see the M88 fly as many block hours as it will in the summer. |

tr We're mostly stable, and hiring is kicking in with new-hires soon to join the bottom of the list, which should hopefully begin to move us all upwards, something hopeful to look forward to. Another good thing! Thanks for the good reading johnso, it killed some time waiting for a flight. But really, you didn't like the fable? Come on man, give it up! ;) |

Wow that's a lot. Ok, positive view then: that by itself SHOULD result in massive thrash and downward movement for all... but we're not seeing it, we're staying stable and the company says they plan on not displacing but letting natural attrition do the work. That's a good thing!

But I'm sure it'll deserve two thumbs up. It was great! Except the ending. :mad: No way would we have hung you. We would've shared Jack Daniels with you, & went after Vol cheerleaders. At least that's what Tsquare would've encouraged. :D |

tr The airplanes being parked is a moving target. I have heard the DC-9s were going to be parked since 1999. That being said I am with T Square and think we need to do something about our "size matters" pay scales. The 737-900 will be replacing X number of 757s and a flatter pay scale would be nice. |

Just what it says unfortunately... Medicare surtax. I've been hit with hit for a few paychecks. For us "high" wage earners. I think it's 0.9% over 200k.
