If anyone has gouge on this (I believe in Santa :p ) shoot a pm my way too please. Mine's due next month.

Thanks

The Delta M88 rate is the proper comparison with SW. They are the closest in size and mission to the SW 737-700.
SW accepting the same pay rate on the 800's they now have on order will however be used against us.

What is going on at F9?
First FAPA votes for cuts in the contract for future stock in the company, or something like that.
Now I read that Frontier is switching pilot unions to the teamsters!
Seems strange that this happened all at once.

With the combined list and a greater percentage of Republic pilots, Frontier got out voted, the IBT has always been Republics union.

But SWA got a raise when they accepted the 800 rates. In actuality they accepted 800 pay for 700 flying as all flying is now with the raise. I am not sure how much of a raise they got as they have not taken delivery of any 800s and so the new pay rate is not in effect yet.

of course the company will use this against us...who cares?

sailing: i am sure YOU are confident that our highly compensated ALPA team and its multi-million-dollar-lawyers can figure out a way to get us what we deserve! IMO: attempting to manage our expectations lower they have already been managed will only accelerate efforts towards new representation.

even the "complete-the-mission-types" are starting to complain about the ALPA lanyard getting a little "too itchy" to wear in public!

question about 24/7
 

I'm on my 6th on call day with 4 more to go until my next x day (domestic). I should expect a call putting me in rest for tomorrow shouldn't I? What should I do/what can they do with me if the call doesn't come? Thanks for the info.

About the only thing they can do is deadhead you to a 24 hour layover.

I am coming up on this same situation and have been trying to find the answer in writing. I have been looking at "When Scheduling Calls" and the contract and haven't found anything yet. The only thing that I have found referencing it so far is on the Crew Resources and Scheduling page. "As a result, it is possible for PBS to award RES days on Sept 1-2 which would give the pilot 11 consecutive RES days. This is both FAR and Contractually compliant and only requires a 24 hour break in duty in any 7 day period" Nothing about a phone call though, seems to me that they would have to put rest on your schedule somewhere to make you legal. Hopefully someone will be able to come up with a better answer.

So other than the dh to rest. They can't use me until they put me in rest?
