Teleconference Notes
 

Anyone want to provide the highlights? Play by play? I would but I'm currently playing Marco Polo with a girl who goes by the name "Molly Mouse".

Much thanks..

Flowthrough update: only expect 25 in the 88 pilot November class, and expect that to continue in the future (except December because there is no class).

Endeavor TA is causing the union to review all of their dealings with the company, to make sure they are in line with the industry standard. Very vague, but it will be "all hands on deck" over the next few days.

They're emphasizing to bid where you want to be on this bid, and make sure to fill out your displacements as well. Proffers to displace are key and don't incur a training freeze or seat lock.

The union doesn't know how far it may possibly go up the list in reverse order because they don't have every pilot's flight time, but their back of the napkin is that it is possible it could go up to two years of seniority.

Next vacancy will be in January, I know some were asking about that on another thread.

You da man, dawg. I just broke down and dialed in...let the games begin!

This current kid on the line is sitting on the toilet taking a deuce. I guarantee it.

A lot of the bidding info is very convoluted and I'm having a hard time keeping up. My best advice is to email the union - your reps or [email protected] if you have bidding questions.

Onto the reserve info...

Biggest complaints for current reserve - default 4am rap, proffering awards very late for east coast commuters, inverse seniority awarding of trips, confirming trips.

This is what the union noticed the most in talking to pilots, and what they pursued.

Union wants us to ask, "are we going in the right direction?" regarding the reserve TA. They have the position that they will be back at the negotiating table especially in light of the endeavor TA. So do we want to live under current reserve in the meantime or what they have developed in the TA?

Hard to believe JM wasn’t at the top of the list. Or 4am RAPs turning into S2/3. Or a one day trip turning into a 5. Or sitting S3 on your last day knowing any call after 6pm is a JM. Shall I go on?
