forgot to bid 01-08-2016 07:15 PM

I just saw one of the most beautiful greenslips I've ever seen.

3-day GS. 1 leg to overnight. 30 hour layover. Double deadhead home. However, you could just iron man it (and I think they did) it back on first flight of the morning. 31.5 hours of pay on 1 leg and gone less than 12 hours.


That's how scheduling could get some trips covered when a 2-day GS just isn't enough. I've got a 1 leg trip....... I'll give you 30 hours at the hotel and a deadhead wink wink home.

How about the md-88 maintenance flights to QRO where the trip always gets extended. You get gs pay, reroute pay, and it drops your next trip because you got extended in QRO...I've heard of guys coming back from 4 days down there with a normal months pay.

There's only about 1 ATL A guy who does this ALL the time....

Have heard rumors he's killing it W-2 wise!

Personally, he can have them....

New hire Freeze
 
Anyone know when a new-hire can be awarded new equipment? I know there is a 1 year seat lock (probably going to be 2 yrs with next TA) and can have a standing bid in. When will the company award a new position on an AE? Can they be awarded something within their first year if it completes training outside of that year?

Thanks.

I'll find the exact reference, but from memory, the "First Conversion Date" on any Advanced Entitlement (i.e. 08NOV16 - AE) cannot fall within the one-year seat lock of said new-hire/seat-locked pilot.

Ref. - Crew Resources Monthly Update - January 2016 (posted 07DEC15)

"AE Bidding – “My first year seat lock expires 16 March 2016. Am I allowed to bid a new aircraft on this
current Nov AE or does the entire conversion window have to take place after my seat lock expires?”

- The first conversion date must be after your one year lock ends.

Thanks Elliot. I couldn't find an answer in the contract. Didn't think to look at Crew Resources.

I believe if a new category is created, you can bid and be awarded within 1st year. I.E. A new A/C on property, new base opens, or an aircraft is brought in to a base it has not been operating in.
