What are the feelings on the new LOA 31 that got passed? Will this mean people are going to buddy bid with LCA again?
Seems like a win win for all though kinda stinks for the new hires. Most new hires I know stayed on the same jet for 12 months unless MD'd by things the COMPANY did. I know a couple who went from ER to domestic 76, but that is very little training. |
Allegedly, a Line Check guy from the previous airline tried to fry a frozen Turkey on the back of his very big, very nice, house boat. Somehow while on a beer run the thing exploded, effectively torpedo'ng the boat. The insurer was convinced he did it on purpose and tied him up in Court for a while.
He never talked about it, but boy everyone else sure did. |

The ER is going junior again in NYC because of the increase in Domestic trips and the coverage of the three airports. Only bright spot is not having to lug the brain bag anymore. A guy can go to Detroit from Atlanta in about the same time as it takes to get to EWR from NYC. |

Crew Planning is assuming 800 training events from this AE If they can hold a few people here or there, they will, but 800 imo is probably conservative. I would suspect that of those "800" events 250-300 will be MD's to lower paying jets.(That is conservative, and it could be double that depending on how ppl bid.)

There are a number of ways to EWR that don't cost and arm and leg, but do take a while.
Kew Gardens to Jamaica - Cab I guess E train to Penn Station - $2.50 North Jersey Coast Line Train - Newark Airport RR station - like $12.50 Air Train - EWR At Penn Station you can also walk to the PATH and take that to Newark and get on a Train to the Newark Airport RR station though it is still like $8-10. Plus if you get yourself to Hoboken or Newark, the cab ride from there drops to $30 Just a little help for the newbies coming to NYC. As said earlier though, I beg for EWR trips on the ER and never get them. Lots of 88 trips though and some 73. Oh and it all depends on the time of day. 5 am show at EWR without a car is a nightmare. |
