Good luck with that. They're going to meter. Since we have to cover what everyone else can't, they need the staffing here.

 

Please see my previous post where I said pretty much that.

 

At the end of the year still has to be 50%. It doesn't matter if they meter or not.

 

They're actually very excited about being able to send as many as they can. That kind of flow will drive new hires here without them having to pull endeavor style bonus payouts...

Like it or not, their plan has been doing pretty much what they said. They got 28 new hires this month. They seem happy with that too.

There's lots to gripe about here; lots. But there's lots to gripe about at every regional. That is slowly changing.

Most commuters here no longer have to have crashpads, the DFW guys no longer have to buy themselves hotels for short term training events, you get a hotel in base for any night you were originally scheduled a hotel someplace. Hotels before/after uncommutable trips; 200% OT fairly regular, increased commuter policy events (and more enhancements under discussion).

We're working on reserve rules, potentially a satellite base in MIA that may help many local guys work closer to home and if structured correctly should hopefully lead to the restoration of a full domicile. There's lots going on and it's not all doom and gloom.

 

Except for the preassigned 0400 RAPs necessitating a commute in the day before (and lost time at home), the always incorrect pay checks, the ****ty schedules for line holders, or the handing out of missed assignments like candy on Halloween (even for a fatigue call), just to name a few.

 

I reread Nicolau's Award and the 824 agreement, and I just don't see that. the closest I see is:
Please show me what I'm missing.

To me "will make it's best efforts" is permissive language whereas "will" or "shall" is absolute.

 

Until the 50% IS achieved, in aggregate over time.
They have to make it up.

 

Sure, out of those 28 how many came from the pipeline mills? 25 maybe?

Good Luck!

 

Only one true OTS was in that entire group of 28. That isn't bad for pilots in the regionals. I'm surprised they only trained 28 combined out of two classes. I was hoping for around 50. Hope they train more in the future.

 

Please don't, we would rather not have you here again. Feel free to apply at PSA though, I think you'd fit in good there.
