Getting conflicting information and can't find anything definitive in the contract - is there any pay provision for being assigned to a category before it's open (NYC717B)? Finished IOE a few days ago but category doesn't open until December bid period. I've been told that my only pay mechanism is out of base white slips, which doesn't seem.....right. There's no pro-rated guarantee as a line holder?
Thanks for any insight.

Does not the bolded mean pilots hired in 2001? I was in the first class of 2001 and not a single member of my class was ever a captain at Express. Had he said 96-2000 hires. I would agree to that statement.
This I totally agree with.
I agree entirely.
On our radar screen: Ex-Im Bank, NAI. We need support, we give support. EOS.
Some people who don't like Obama would like the corporation to make a stand that shows disdain for Obama. For zero gain. Good thing they're not running the show, and someone more reasoned and pragmatic is.

Anderson believes in this immigration law revision. It has nothing to do with currying favor with political prostitutes because Anderson has money. Money is all you need when buying political prostitutes.
You guys are making this more complex than reality dictates. Anderson likes this immigration policy. Anderson dislikes Obamacare. Period.

You're forgetting that we always need White House support, and that didn't matter one bit to Anderson when he forcefully came out against Obamacare 3 years ago.

Again I said during our last big hiring cycle, which was 96-01 and yes you were a part of it, guys were upgrading to Captain at Express in about 18 months. You were part of the cycle, but not part of the cycle that it pertains to. That does not mean that everyone in the cycle made Captain in that amount of time. The good thing now is that eveyone from that hiring cycle can now hold Captain, if they choose to commute to NYC. My time to first Captain opportunity was 13 years 9 months.

I don't understand why guys hold up express captain as a truly legitimate upgrade for this reason. Yes, it's an upgrade, and yes, you're the captain, but money and time off determine what your seniority can hold. (Despite the fact that for a long time, express captains were making serious bank with their GSWC campaign). The sunshine operation was a concession and should be viewed as a c-scale IMO.
I can see a day when I complain to a chief pilot about my FO not speaking the language, and that chief pilot telling me that I'd better up my game in my bilingual skills.
