Fly around in a weedwhacker at $20 an hour or opentime on the new payrates? Tough choice.

True, however building TPIC or your 121 hours to help with career progression or upgrade is much more important. But to each is their own, instruct away if your heart desires

Everyone on here think about what new guys here experience will be like on the 200 will be instead of passing off your own experience from more than a year ago as relevant to today.

The 200 is shrinking. The 900 is growing. And some senior fo insulated from the real world is spouting off advise for new hires today which pertains to new hires from early 2016.

Clearly a personal attack was warranted. He said what he has. He related his experience flying in Atlanta. You S&@t on him. His experience probably won’t be theirs. Your predictions also probably won’t be their experience. But, by all means, keep up the good work up there on your pedestal where you can guide the unknowing masses with your wisdom while protecting them from the ruthless forum posters.

You’re doing it wrong if you’re only getting $20/hr these days.

Anyone have some clarification for the pass travel improvements email. I understand the concept of a companion pass but I’m somewhat confused about the first improvement in relation to being called for seats after “active” Delta.

Does this simply mean we will have priority over Delta retirees when non-revving?

Thanks for the clarity.

Don’t expect a lot when you contact scheduling and the station chief pilot. I emailed them at the 80 day point and got told “don’t worry about it, scheduling will take care of it”. Found out later that means an almost automatic push to 150 days. The pool of LGA 900 FOs that are approaching 120 days without CKS is getting bigger by the week. There are many I know that finished LOE at end of August that are still waiting to get CKS priority. FWIW, the crew resource report in Flica shows who on reserve is tagged for CKS.
