Another questions please.

Can I add someone at the beginning of my anniversary, and then delete someone at the tail end? Or am I only allowed to add ordelete only once per year?

Case: Assumes anniversary date is Jan 1st, I added someone as TC in June, my parents immediately lose S2 (is that correct?), Can I delete the TC by Dec. 31st, so when next Jan 1st comes my parents would have access to S2 again?

I tried to look the stuff up on travelnet, but it's pretty muddy.

Thanks for the guru out there!

 

I wish! Lucky me, I get to be stuck in a sim for CQ. Go Dores!

 

I'm with Bar, end EWR as a part of NYC. If you look at the EWR flying it's not NYC flying, it's one leg out of EWR to ATL, 4 days in ATL, one leg back to EWR on the last flight. EWR should just be ATL flying, not NYC.

Because look at the trips, 4-day shows at 0515 and ends at 2010.

Now if you're in Kew Gardens how in the world do you get to EWR for a 515 show? I'd say you go the night before. But what if you get a 0300 SC and they call at 314am. I'd pull the I'll get there when I get there but does the train even get there that early?

 

In another life, seem to remember that for every 6-8 pilots trained the cost was around 1mil...don't know if its still true.

 

Given our training footprint, I would venture to bet it is a lot less.

 

Its a win. 12 months if fairly standard in the industry. Some have two years. The other quid is minimal flying after IOE waiting for TOE, which is actually good for those that are going to sit for some time.

The gains are huge and will cost more than the quids.

Also, I want to note that not just the Negotiator's Note pad was published, but so was the actual LOA language. It was posted simultaneously on the DALPA site. That is a step in the correct direction.

 

T;
I had the same dilemma. All of my trips originated out of JFK. When I started flying out of JFK 6 years ago, I had 3 Jetblues, 6 DAL mainline and Comair, 5 American and Eagle flights that all arrived in JFK or LGA before my sign-ins. Before I was able to leave the base, since there were no bids for a looong time, this was whittled back to 1 comair and 1 eagle both leaving within 15 minutes of each other.

I went in to tell the CP I could no longer be a JFK commuter. The answer was you still have EWR. I told them that I wouldn't be commuting to EWR since my flying was all JFK and since I didn't know how to get between the two and wasn't willing to suck up a $100 cab, it wasn't going to happen...They may as well have said "you still have PHL or DCA or BOS.

I bid out the first opportunity, but there was a 6 month period where there was undue stress due to items out of my control.

 

Yea last train from Penn to EWR is 0122 and first train is 0417

I agree it is a PIA to get there from anywhere in NY. I don't understand why so many NYers fly out of there on United. Course JFK from Manhattan isn't exactly easy either. With the company shifting so many people to NY so as said the Junior guys can pay the lodging costs instead of laying over people here we should have a COLA in the contract for those who are based in the more expensive cities. But of course no one would be willing to give up anything for that so it is dead in the water.

 

Help with costs? HELP WITH COSTS? What other costs of doing business can pilots (not flight attendants mind you) help with?

Anyone know how many days until a strike vote? Need something to look forward to.

No one can organize a job action like bad management can.

 

Yes it runs 24 hrs, but I think I'm the only one doing this. Take bus or walk to Subway. Get on E train to the World Trade Center. Walk two blocks to the Path train and take it to Newark Penn Station. Get on local Bus to Newark Liberty Airport. Takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Cost $5.75 (also meet all kinds of folks that still don't fly).
Other wise, Flt Att golden touch, but they do not have to let you on, apparently the flight attendants can refuse to let you ride even if there are seats. That time of day a cab is probably over a hundred bucks.
Another solution for Delta would be to pay for cabs to/from? EWR.
Another suggestion for co-terminal airports would be for you to be able to specify the dept/arrival terminal for DH legs.
