Ok I understand now, they explained it differently to me, but that makes sense. Talking to them was difficult to say the least, they were very vague and didn’t want to answer the questions I had.

Do you get membership to the mile high club if it happens in the forward lav of a 175 while parked at the gate? Bonus points if you had no business being on said aircraft in the first place??

Cause that guy and many of them in there don't know what they are talking about. There are a few guys that know their stuff. Many of them don't know the fringe rules that rarely come up.

Also if we get forced to upgrade and displaced out of our original award, the only way the company gives us displacement pay, travel, and hotels is if we are displaced to the 175 ORD...

If I get forced to upgrade in OrD on the CRJ for example, I only get three move days and nothing else.

Kinda sour way to introduce new hires to a company.

The first paragraph is wrong. Nothing the union could of done to stop this.

The rest of your comments I'm not sure about because the New base LOA is so new. I am pretty sure you are right that there are extra benefits awarded for guys displaced to the 175 ORD.

I am just relaying the info the contract compliance guy relayed to me. Take it for what it’s worth. I also have an email chain of what I have mentioned to you guys. I promise I made those guys work this last week. I think it’s poor to force a new hire to upgrade.. especially if they want to get comfortable with the way the company operates. I have been out of the 121 world for a while and just want to get acclimated with the company SOP and normal day to day operations before being the one responsible for signing the AML.

Great value for one’s dues. For clarification this is not a shot at the volunteer guys.

Now the likelyhood of you end up being a CA is slim. You could, in the end, bid out of the CA slot before you actually start training.

I think during your FED ride you should look at the guy and say can you not sign off on me because I am not ready to be a CA yet. I would really like to hear that would go down.

Hahaha I brought that up to the contract guy and there response was “we don’t suggest that to anyone, but if that’s how you feel, then do what you got to do”

Just ask your fo what to do. After all they’ve been there longer than you!

Seriously I can’t believe the company is even ok with upgrading new guys with no company experience. They must be really desperate.
