Why would it? Good for the SSPs for passing the interview and moving onto Delta.

Had I stayed I'd be a FO even today. I'm not sure what you mean about something stinging? Buddy of mine from Aug '07 just got the upgrade in DTW for the -200. He unfortunately did not pass the SSP interview with Delta. So had I stayed it's one interview shot for something not guaranteed. I may have passed the interview or not. Who cares about an interview only? A guaranteed flow (that's what TeddyKGB or Delta1067 or whatever he calls himself had) is the real deal. An interview with some ratio of pilots/year sounds good on paper but not so much when you consider that everyone pretty much everywhere will have at least one legacy interview in the next 5 years. Everything I said in '12 was true. Colgan disappearing, BK coming, and legacy 9E being hosed because the SLI committee screwed the pooch badly. That's not really a crystal ball, that's just what the airline was set up for. Lastly I'm not sure what you mean by "ahead" of me. Every airline has its own seniority list and people join at the bottom. I give a thumbs up to anyone who leaves 9E onto greener pastures and wish them good luck.

I'm pretty content. The money isn't 3-legacy but it's okay for what we are and where we are. ALPA was voted in and we hope to secure a good CBA at some point. I'm not actively looking to get out, and if there is a reason for me to go is strictly based on age alone. A few guys I fly with are suggesting I'd be silly not to have an app out at 31. IMO the industry is finally in an upswing, oil came crashing down, and every airline is doing well. Making 6 figures, good schedules to boot, fun crews, easy flying, it's a decent gig. Keeping in the premium transcon market flying is done with the 757/767s at Delta/United and A321s (used to be 767) at AA. It's relatively senior on the domestic side because it is easy as cake.

 

All of but one person in the most recent 900 class was assigned LGA; not by preference mind you.

 

I'd be pretty psyched with that. Hey, when you're new, you go where they send you. Eventually I'm sure one could go where they want. I hope that happens soon for that crew

It about 2-3 year upgrade currently, possibly quicker. There is no flow to delta. Like everyone else has said its just a guaranteed interview. Approximately 60% success rate at the delta guaranteed interview on average. Sometimes higher sometimes lower. a few months ago only 20% who interviewed on the guaranteed interview with Delta were hired, 80% were rejected. but then again there was a month where as many as 70% who interviewed on the guaranteed interview have been hired and only 30% were rejected. So the numbers of successful interviews vary monthly. Success rate for an off the street interview at Delta is much high than through the guaranteed interview program (I've heard around 95%), but then again endeavor does guarantees you the interview, you just have no way of knowing if the interview will be successful. the pass rate is so bad many have "coined" the term "its a coin toss" to describe the possible success at the Delta Guaranteed Interview. Pay is decent for a regional and Endeavor is a good place to work, but they DO NOT have a flow for us to Delta, and they reject nearly half of our pilots at the Delta Interview. There is a new agreement that if signed will give 30/hour pay rates to new FO's as well as a signing bonus, and better work rules. Best wishes to you and I hope this helps. Merry Christmas

 

The union reps vote on the TA tonight. All indications are that it will pass.

 

So after the union reps vote, does it go to management for approval? When does it get into effect if its 'yes' everywhere?

 

No, it will go in to effect as early as January 1 with some of the provisions rolling out over the next few months.

 

It will be nice to finally have some decent reserve rules in the contract, oh wait

 

Dude, what are you talking about? Aside from not having long call, there is a bunch of stuff for reserves. Our reserve rules will be better than the JCBA and some of the best in he regional industry. I will give you that it is skewed toward stuff that applies more to commuters, but a non commuter can use some of it too. And the caps on reserve mean you may not even need to worry about reserve anymore. In fact, with the movement that this is designed to staff, you won't anyway.

 

+1 dude it's Avro... You know what to expect
