Yep. Complete farce. It pays around $12 for a limo (I mean back-breaking pos van) from MCO-TPA

I wonder how the walk-in interviews for Endeavor will work out? I think this summer is going to be a blood bath in the DCI operation.

I think DCI companies will fold and other companies will reopen flying the same planes. They will have direct entry captain jobs and new FO jobs and everyone will be on first year pay.

Not sure how it worked, but anyone who wanted to participate emailed him their schedules then he put them into an excel program or something. It then spit out who should jetway trade with who to reduce the number of commutes they had. And it's leg giveaway. Jetway trade makes it sound like you have to wait around for the other guy to show up. Scheduling already treats your four day like a sushi roll and chops it up during your reroute immediately after gear up on the first leg. Programming is already there, just need to give pilots the same flexibility scheduling already has. |

Where do you get the pilots? DCI has lost close to half of us since the merger. Now that fuel is this low, and RJ fuel is not hedged, DCI is ridiculously profitable, ~20% margins.

Good point. Edit: I was thinking a little more about this and I still think it would be a little more difficult than many think. Suppose you are commuting to a 6.5 hour block day. If your commuter flight is more than 2 hours, you would run the risk of timing out. Since your original trip was only blocked at 6.5, who would be on the hook for the remaining time? I am sure that the buffers required might make this difficult. |
