Woooooow that E175 upgrade time dropped
I’m all for it, I’ve followed XJT for a while and as a newbie I’ll support the MEC. Most of what I was told by the recruiters a few months ago hasn’t panned out.

Now I am not saying accept crap pay/work rules but be conscious of how much you push the envelope. Yes the new mgmt team at Xjet hasn’t held up their end of the bargain. The union should went for more binding language to force them to negotiate

A lot of us aren’t seeing path to success following the current course.
Please show or tell us how we win by following the MEC blindly down this path?

Management does management stuff. You know, like keeping their employees happy with good pay and benefits. Management is responsible for growth, not pilots.
Pretty simple really. All of you rocket surgeons who think pilots are responsible for growth think too highly of yourselves.

It's that of the employees that are required to get a plane off the ground, we are probably the longest lead time to get qualified and I'm certain it's the most expensive. (Be interesting to show cost of training/return on investment for the following four fields.)
Considering the above list of FA, mech, dispatch, pilot.
So, you have to have a steady pipeline with a long lead time and it's expensive and the training is paid for by the employee up to the time of hiring.
Dispatch: 2 week course.
FA: 6 weeks? (Don't recall.)
Mechanic: 24-30 months, can be done 100% as apprentice program I believe?
Pilot: 2 years min (1250 hrs/Associates. Aside from military but the only ones we could get inside of 10 years is Guard/Reserve. A limited supply.)
It's not ego I don't think. State another employee type that takes more time/money to train.

- no backfill was awarded with this bid. The company is now in the position of having to put out a 19-06 bid ASAP. 19-05 created around 80 CA vacancies. Combined with the vacancies due to attrition there should be well over 100 ERJ CA vacancies.
- with this many openings, the next CA awards will drop very close to the 18 month/1000 hr mark.
- while your buddies are still on reserve at SKW or END, you will be close to CA upgrade at XJT!!

Actually there is a August 2016 hire who is on the E175 CA ORD list. He must've bypassed 19-04 and missed all that 145 CA EWR upgrading. Times are getting interesting
