Side note; expense reporting
Can anyone tell me how to do a expense report?
the old method of going to XJT.com> my stuff> expense report will not give me a option to create a new report.
thank you

Wow, you’re extremely rude and patronizing. No need for that.
The contract appears to be for “more than” 125 air planes. As far as I know we were contracted to fly UP TO 125 EMB-145’s and 25 EMB-175’s previously. So around 150 total airframes.
We only had 90-95 145’s on property with 65 being flown due to staffing. The rest were to come from the desert in the form of ER/LR models since all XR’s were locked away with TSA and Commutair.
Looks like these will replace ER/LR models from the desert instead? My point is that we aren’t contracted to gain 11 airplanes. These 36 just go towards the total of the 125 EMB-145’s already accounted for in the previous contract.
Maybe you can point me to the new contract announcing more than 160 airframes total? If so, yes it’s new flying and an increase of 11 aircraft?
Either way, we need pilots to staff us up to the total amount of contracted airplanes. Right now we have about 950 active pilots to staff 95 total planes. Anything over that is growth.
It simply comes down to retaining our new hires and attracting more with incentives.

We will see what happens.
I will say this. If there are not significant contract improvements to the tune of a $20+ per hour pay raise across the board the United 145 feed will continue to shrink.
So in my opinion United can do 1 of 2 things: serve more of today’s regional routes with mainline aircraft or pay up.
Now that the 175 has been eliminated from all of United’s exclusive regionals they are in the distinct position of hoping to attract pilots to their feed with the combination of the worst contracts and the oldest equipment. It is absolutely not sustainable. It is actually quite laughable. Continuing to offer larger and larger first year bonuses will not get this done.

Seriously though do I detect a little bit of a change in your opinion from a few months ago?

There are still plenty of good reasons to come here. I in no way regret my decision. And I would never agree to a campaign to keep new hires away. However at this point I must admit the company is doing a fantastic job of that on their own.
I do my best to take things at face value. This pilot shortage thing looks like it’s about to get real, and the bottom line is there may not be enough pilots to fly all the metal. It makes sense that the smallest and oldest aircraft are the first to move to the sideline. The more I think about it, United ALPA appears to have scored a significant victory this week. We are one very large step closer to mainline aircraft being forced to service some of the current regional routes. United has the most 50 seaters. Aircraft which are not getting any younger. They have a big decision to make.

That changed at the beginning of the year - a whole bunch of MyMessages went out. They went to a new system and your temporary password has expired. You have to get a new one from Atlanta. The portal is VERY user-un-friendly, almost like they don’t want you to actually use it. But it does work in the end.

Getting a few of your old aircraft back that were given away is a net gain? Your statement only to applies to those that have been with the company for a year or less.
