I didn't say they would stop the flow, that would be counter productive to their only recruiting tool. I said they will not continue to go above what they have to. Now, back to your used car sales pitch...

 

Yes. People hired now will reap the greatest benefit.

Just like stocks, if you wait until everyone's talking about it, it will be too late and the vast majority of the gains are behind you.

 

Uh yeah, my bad, that isn't what you said at all. Oh, and please stop saying "we". We all know you don't work here.


Better to be a Used Car Salesman than the mop boy at the PSA wh0re house.

 

A partial quote out of context doesn't paint the full picture. Let me help you with what it is I do not expect to last, taken from the previous sentence in that paragraph, "I'm glad they are flowing more than the minimum..."

As far as you thinking I'm a PSA Wh0re goes, you couldn't be more wrong. Just because I refuse to whitewash the company propaganda like a good little management stooge doesn't mean I do not work for the airline formerly known as Eagle.

 

You don't think they know that we've won almost EVERY seniority based grievance over the past 20+ years? They want it resolved more than you think; they just have a better poker face.

What he wants, and what is needed to make 2.5/6 a reality are not the same. Their projections are based upon 15 a month. More is gravy.
You're also assuming the only place to obtain pilots is from the limited supply comming from the colleges and universities.

 

The retirements go up each year. They can easily go back to only 50% and we are still sending 300+ to AA each year.

 

Whats going to happen to the flow, upgrades,reserve if envoy can't hire 300 pilots next yr? ALPA and specifically YOU should've kept your traps shut last yr when your agenda about helping pilots out from envoy backfired.

Results: 50+ in attrition a month that really contributed to;
Less flying.
Base closures
More pilots on reserve
Are you regretting it now?

Good Luck!

 

Thank you for the replies thus far


You say reserve is currently 4 years. If I were to get the 175 could that lesson the time on reserve or what would be the way to do that?

How many hours does the average reservist pick up?

What is the junior base right now?

Is CVG really getting announced and will that go junior or senior?(guessing junior)

Once hired how long til jumpseat privileges start? after IOE?





Anyone interview lately have an idea what to expect?


I feel like there is plenty I'm leaving out still new to the game feel me in.

 

Reserve time depends on what base and aircraft you are in. There are guys at envoy with 2 years of seniority holding a line on the CRJ in ORD.

They are hiring both into the CRJ and 145. if the amount of new hires stays consistent on the CRJ guys in class right now could sit reserve less than a year. There is a lot more hiring on the 145 but it is a larger fleet. If you do get the 175 reserve time could be even less if they put a lot of new hires in it. Reserve times are ever changing.

Reserve guys can do anywhere between 30 and 80 hours. Looking at the reserve list you can see both extremes. Some guys that live in base don't want to fly and some guys would rather just commute in and do one leg to the hotel. Some like to fly a lot.

You can get DFW or ORD out of training.

No CVG base. Might be another airline you are thinking about.

AA non-rev benefits I think are first day. Jumpseat I believe is the same. I got the jumpseat during a break during training.

Interview is three parts. Technical, sim, and HR. Tech is basic IFR and Jep knowledge. Sim is easy. VOR tracking, a hold, and an approach or two. The HR is like any other HR.

 

I keep reading this statement that FOs can't bid the E175. I thought displaced FOs can bid the 175. With the closing of MIA and NY that makes a lot of FOs able to bid the 175. Now, is it just being displaced out of equipment? Or can a MIA EMJ FO displaced to ORD EMJ FO also bid the 175?
