All this talk of the “lifers” moving on to the next level. I wonder why Subudh hasn’t made it to the big league's yet himself??

He’s still messing around bankrupting fly by night cargo outfits and running tiny regionals into the ground.

 

So I wonder what "major" concessions the company asked for and what micro benefit they offered in exchange. No rumors so the union must be pretty tight lipped. Any guesses?

 

We already have no duty rigs, no trip rigs, 2 hr per day min pay, and no help for commuters. What the hell else could they want from the pilots? Only 10 days off per month to staff all of this flying we don’t have?

Haha I got the welcome aboard after my Aviate interview. I could care less about this place. I just think going out of your way to lie about the conditions here is not helping anyone. I’m not happy the company ask for concessions but it’s the same place I signed up for when I came.

 

Just a positive post to balance out the normal negativity. I am very happy with Expressjet training, I have a great schedule where I can control my line to fly 60-100 hours per month, have holidays off, and am generally happy with the scheduling team, dispatch, maintenance, FAs, and all the captains I fly with. The pay is exactly what I came in expecting and accepted when I was hired. I'm glad I'm here and would come again.

Unexpectedly, the upgrade time has dropped to 1000 hours, which was the only main reason, upgrade was 7 years at the time, I wasn't sure about coming to Expressjet.

Expressjet remains one of the only options to an easy interview, start immediately, few delays if any in training, a great training program, only a few months on reserve, and then great scheduling once you hold a line. Then, upgrade at 1000 hours. Not sure which other regional airline offers all this.

 

This has been my experience so far as well. I understand that this isn't what a lot of my senior captains have experienced, but I'm enjoying the ride so far.

Happy with the scheduling team, what the ******* is going on here? Only people happy here are about to go to Big U and they are one mistake from being a lifer...

 

Is that you Subodh?

 

If most people are unhappy here, they are the dumb. The company advertises its work rules, pay, and upgrade time. Why come here knowing you wouldn't like them unless you are a moron, or couldn't get hired anywhere else?
