I am speaking of Ejet pilots. A much younger group than the CRJ pilots. I can see the older guys more desperate and giving up on a major. Why don’t you post a link to the ALPA chart?

I don’t know of a single Ejet pilot who went to Frontier and we are a relatively small group of pilots in IAH.

Do you mean 75 hours of credit? If you’re not at least getting MMG, you should be calling someone.

Sorry. Should have written block.
Tough to get more than block when you have a 60 hour line, minimal days off which uncommutable trips.
Myself and many others took one look at the October CRJ lines in ORD and punched out.

October CRJ lines were much weaker, but every CRJ line for January has at least 75 credit. Days off still need to be improved.

That’s not an improvement. Working more, same pay, same amount of days off, no chance of picking up open time as you don’t have any days off.

Zero comms, zero anything. It’s like the Carpathia scouring the scene of the Titanic...after the survivors were plucked.

Fixed it for you. The other express providers aren't cancelling due to crew issues.

Yes, because ZW was staffed appropriately for half the airplanes they promised to United, and were cancelling 10+ a day due to crew until united pulled flying from us and gave it to you. Eventually they’ll get ****ed at you and give flying to some other express carrier that can’t staff it. It’s a revolving series of staffing disasters.
