The release is clearer... do not call gatekeeper, just go to the gate you received during in-range call. (Paraphrasing here, but it’s on the release)

I’ve only seen once where we got to the gate and it was occupied, but I’m not sure if that was before the new system was in place or after. So from now on, no more gatekeeper calls. If we get to a gate and it’s full, I’ll call ops and let them handle it.

No. And the Union better not LOA this BS either

So for most people, this TA results in a paycut, but I dont understand why everyone is saying we have to credit 83 hours a month to break even. With the 83 hour [B]diviser[B], we are taking a $2250/annum paycut at min guarantee. That comes out to be 78 hours credit a month for second year FO, and 77 hours credit a month for a 3rd year 900 captain. And no, that's not including the mickey mouse perdiem increase, or the 401k, which again is a joke. Still a paycut at min guarantee, what I want to know is, why are people saying we need to credit 83 hours to break even.

Because they were told the current rate was based on 83 hours a month. So they think it takes 83 hours every month to make the same amount when in reality it takes what you just said to credit the same amount.

Very interesting. I just did the math comparing a 10 year 900 Captain and found the same thing, that there is a difference of about $2,220 comparing the current book with bonus to TA without. In that case, one would have to work a maximum of an extra 1.6 hours per month to make up the difference.

I think what they are saying is that, at 83 hours worked before AND after the TA, there would be no difference in pay. But this is confusing because people think that if they are currently working 75 hours a month that they must now work 83 to break even. For someone like me, if I were currently crediting 75 hours I would have to now credit 76.6 in order to make the same pay, all other variables being the same.

The math:

CR9 10 to 11 year 2018 = $88.21
CR9.TA 10 to 11 year 2018 = $111.3

$88.21 x 75 x 12 = $79,389 (plus $23,000) = $102,389
$111.3 x 75 x 12 = $100,170 (difference of -$2,219)
$111.3 x 76.67 x 12 = $102,389

First off its a pay raise for all pilots except 280 who average below 83. Endeavor has tons of soft pay, it's difficult to be below an 83 average. The union emails have broken down every pilot into earning brackets, you should read them.

This may be a tough one for newbies to understand, but endeavor has industry leading soft pay. Only one person found themselves at the 75 hour rate average last year of the entire pilot group (not just voters, the entire pilot group). Judging from my captains, even the 2 yr guys here still haven't opened rainmaker. Unless you're dropping trips and reserve days month after month, you're not at the 75hr rate, which is why you're never going to get it.

Only 280 of us are below the 83 hours average, and I'm not one of them.

Vote yes, vote the pay raise.

Rainmaker?
 

When will November's schedules load in rainmaker?

Thanks

Ok, That’s a pay cut. All the other “soft money” should have been incorporated with a pay rise not a pay cut.

You ever heard of inflation? How about 401K, have you seen what Congress is going to do next month without even a Democratic vote nor the president’s approval? They propose to cut your allowable contribution by about half to fund tax cuts for the rich. Don’t you want to make more to offset that? Did you see what’s happening to insurance premiums? They’re on the rise. Don’t you want to be able to make a bit more to offset that cost?

I’m changing my prediction to this pilot group voting YES now because of the carrot being dangled but I assure you that you will see less money in the bank roll than you’re currently getting with the bonus. Go fish.

I doubt the fleet guy has ever even been to ATL. Here is the easiest thing to do when you want to confirm your gate after landing and you have a working ACARS.

MCDU->ACARS->DEPT/ENROUTE->Gate Request (R5 I think it is)

If the gate hasn’t changed then nothing will change. If it has, you’ll see a new gate, receive a SELCAL aural tone, and see a message on the MCDU CDU that says GATE REV* That being said, you never really have to call ops anywhere for anything. They usually know the Special Assist needs already. but if you need blue juice n crap like that, then you call the appropriate freq listed for that concourse in ATL.
