Also, the training department is so backed up they can't do much on this next AE. I know they want to do more, but they can't. You don't announce hiring when you don't have the means to train the newhires. There is too much chance of plans changing.
That is always the excuse, right up there with "we can't get the airplanes" or "there are no aircraft that works they way we want it to". We heard the same excuses at NWA with regards to the EMB....yet somehow they spooled up an entire company from zero AND mysteriously got the previously undesirable, unobtainable airplanes virtually overnight.

And no word on any hiring.
My guess is this time next year, we will have fewer pilots on the list than we have today, which is down from the combined pre-merger numbers. Sliding backwards....sure, some are going off the top, but the ground is eroding faster behind us. Nu Yep, Its like a cartoon. I have been climbing up the "rope" of seniority for over 10 years and have climbed quite a bit. The problem is the "rope" has been burning beneath me - so I am really no further from the end.

Call and ask them to be released for the rest of the month. I think you technically have to hit the ALV to be released, by I'd think if you're with in an hour they'd let ya go.
Looking at the contract they can't schedule you to go over your ALV. So to me that means withing 5 hours of ALV I basically released. I can't think of any scenario where a Reserve would get a 1 day trip worth 5:15. |

Some more RES questions for the experts:
I will time out on RES before Christmas, i.e. I will be at the ALV or close enough to it that they can't schedule me anymore. Once I hit that point what do I tell the schedulers so I am not on the hook? Then the question is, is it worth doing a GS? Is there any benefit to a GS when on RES and already timed out?[/QUOTE] GS will be single pay no credit(not that it matters) It adds to your total monthly pay and is not subject to ALV +15. I called scheduling recently and told them that I had hit ALV and wanted them to note I was full for the month. In fact there are a few guys that I know that have filled up or will have filled up by the 22nd. Christmas is going to be very short. I will be enjoying mine with my family. Cell will be in the car. :D |
