15 would be excellent!

It was a starting point, with possibility of lowering it in future negotiations.

Crashpad
 

In need of a crashpad in LGA. Looking for about $300 a month. Any recommendations or know of any openings?

PM with any info. Thanks.

It would be nice if LCR was a little longer of a call out than 12 hours. 24 would be wonderful, but 16 would be doable for many. I’m in the same boat where if I was called at 7pm for a 7am show, I’d have to get in my car and drive through the night. But a 7pm phone call for a 11am show is doable. Do any other companies use a longer window?

Before the bankruptcy we had 10am the day prior.

I.e. if you had long call on Monday, you had to check your schedule no earlier than 10am on Sunday and no later than 6pm (if I recall correctly). So as long as you checked at 10:01am then you had generally a minimum of 20 hrs (for a 6 am departure the next day).

It was great. Long calls were also in the same priority as all reserves so if you bid last out, there was a good chance you were never going to be called. I understand why the company wanted to change that, the call out time being the same as before would have been nice though.


I went back and looked at the wording on the new call out, on the first day of your reserve sequence you can't be assigned a show before 1pm, however if you aren't used that first day and you are used the second day, the 12 hour call out applies.

My earlier example with Tuesday was correct assuming you started your reserve sequence on Monday.

The first day thing is nice, but once I fall into the 12 hour window I get hosed between 6pm and 9pm with a min call out. I’d have to get in my car and drive 6 hours. Or go sit at the airport each night standing at the counter for the last flight Incase they call me :rolleyes:

I’ll probably just watch these first couple months and see what kind of report times guys are getting.

They stated in recurrent they are working to drop it to 18. It's a start.

Same here.

Any chance of west coast flying ?
Buddy of mine is interested but lives in Phoenix and is wary of the commute x/c.

There's always a chance but don't believe it until it is up for bid. We have a few Phoenix commuters and they don't seem to hate it too much for what I've been told. We have a sim down there now and I know at least one FO that makes a killing picking up seat support in open time.
