This is in more than one thread. Section 12 J. Reserve Duty Period Average applied at the end of the bid period addresses this. If 5:15 per qualifying duty period flown by a reserve pilot is greater than accumulated credit and guarantee, then you get the difference as pay/no credit above what you already have. It has been addressed, but I'm all for improving it. :D

Can this only be done from the Crew Room?
Nevermind, the X is working again. |

Strange - They were there and now their gone. Huh....removing color coding? Are the B's going to have to wait until the 17th? UGH.
Baja. I like that color coding. Good graphics rock.:D |
Here's something else for your perusal. Looks like the charter business is doing pretty good, and we get to carry the National Champions. :) Pretty sure ftb ain't getting any of this though. :(

From the APA SCOPE Committee Many of you have seen the recent announcement by the corporation regarding the purchase order for 90 new 76-seat aircraft. Although this order has aircraft that are allowed under the current Scope Clause and appears to be in compliance with the restriction on these types of aircraft, APA has made it known to the "New American Airlines" that we are ready to resume talks for APA flying the E175 aircraft at the mainline. By bringing the E175 to the mainline, AAL will help bring our fellow pilots flying at the regionals to the mainline in a more expeditious manner. The pilot shortage is coming, and AAL has in its hands the ability to get ahead of the industry and secure a pilot force while the other airlines will lack the ability to man their regional feed as those pilots start to leave in droves for the majors. Reasons for the flying to come to the mainline: Pilot shortage Ability to up-gauge A/C to >86k lbs and add seats EMB Gen 2 E jets will add seats and weight One-time hire for the mainline reduces churn and enhances pilot progression Forward-looking has ability to lock up pilot stream Keep it attractive to sustain the flow of pilots More flexibility for AAL more seats on same a/c, APA flown Goodwill building airline of the future Get ahead of the industry in the present instead of playing catch-up later CASM reduction revenue generator, more seats on same a/c |

I sincerely applaud their efforts here, but we all know the ink is already dry with multiple ACMI labor buster virtual airlines to do this flying. While what they say makes sense, to any manager minion with a puppy mill MBA and an eye on their next bonus based on some snapshot out of context cost metric, long term thinking doesn't matter one bit. Flunky airline managers have proven time and time and time again they will blow many billions on failed outsourcing schemes just to save projected block hour costs in the short run. They all know by the time the future comes where long term thinking would start paying off, they will be long gone flaring their golden parachutes to a soft landing on a white sandy beach somewhere.

However, Doug Parker is closer to Richard Anderson than he is to Jeff Smisek. By a long shot. He is there to stay, and IMHO he will do well because he WANTS to be an airline guy. I could be wrong though.

You may be right in general. But WRT to the large RJ issue, I don't see enough visionary leadership coming from Parker to take on the large RJ outsource paradigm. It just looks too good on paper for the short term. Even the best among his class can't resist it.

Being proactive is expressly prohibited by ALPA. Whether it is seeking to restore our wildly unfair bankruptcy contracts or bringing our domestic flying back to the mainline where it belongs. |
I am going to be out of touch, on a cruise without internet access, during the bidding period in January. I'm planning on bidding reserve.
Can I put a bid in my default bid? Because it's reserve, it should be pretty simple and just bidding days. Will this work or do I need to get someone to bid for me? |
