Are you a restricted atp pilot with reduced minimums?

 

I have an atp with CRJ and 700+ in the plane. I told them to take me off the list when they called.

 

Good luck to you, bud.

 

Need more tough guys like you.

I could get another raise!

 

I wouldn’t have done that until you’ve completed IOE somewhere else

 

That’s why you always look while employed, I’m currently 121 at another regional. Just always keeping my options open.

 

Apparently not.

 

You push back classes that much theres a market reaction (where newhires are the ones buying) who devalue the offer. Who wants to bet they'll take him back in 2020first quarter when we finally get the growth. (Im assuming 3rd quarter of 2019 is already destined to slip)

 

Still means that he's not sticking to his "keeping my options open" mantra.

 

Well. In this market, when you push back 6months and nothing is in writing about more aircraft coming, thats not an option. The iron is still hot, strike! Sitting around for 6 (likely more) months isn't an option if i had hiring mins.

It's a judgement call. Hes in a position he wouldnt get an early call. The people in the feb or March class who will get pushed back and accept will get a call early because everyone in front of them is gainfully employed and won't leave their line holding job at skywest for a turn on reserve in nyc. Thats assuming history repeats itself.

Maybe it doesn't fit the black and white definition for you, but when the consumer decides your product is valueless it doesnt matter that it "technically" has some value to someone. As EDV HR has learned many times now, filling classes is an art, not science.
