We also are not the Vice President of Flight Operations. While there are many reasons to be upset when upper management gets $$ and perks we don't, this isn't one of them. Let it go.

Let what go, I said I agree he should take time. Being a VP of Flight Operations or a line pilot should not matter when it comes to losing someone, sorry. Now, you can let it go.

Just the fact that you used the death of someone's son as a point of comparison between your benefits and those of your VP of Flight Ops seemed discordant and a bit tasteless. The last thing I would think of when someone loses a loved one is to complain about how they get more time for bereavement off then we do. Not to mention that with his position and time with the company, he's earned it. Plus, you don't know that he isn't burning sick time, or vacation time, or something else for the extra time, just like you could call in sick, have a conversation with your chief pilot, or at worse just miss a trip if it were absolutely necessary and let the union go to work if action is taken.

Anyway, I'm done talking about it. You may have the last word. We obviously differ on our opinions as to the appropriate timing of this discussion. That's okay.

Well said. I'm not looking for the last word and will not claim this as such. Bereavement is something that needs to be improved at this company. I've used it first hand and had to jump through hoops. Yes, in hindsight my comment was the wrong time, however still relevant. That's all I have to say about that.

The fall is our slow time and we do not need the extra expense of having people make 75 hours of flying while sitting at home. Also, our instructors are returning to the line to fill in.

I would expect the next new hire class starting around Nov. 2012 at the earliest.

You get as much time as you need, but only 3 days are paid. He lost his son. Show some love.

Wild speculation passed on as fact. Aka, a rumor.

Can't say much for the other regionals, but it appears that this Delta TA will benefit the new Expressjet, more than any other regional, for the better. Things are definitely looking good as time goes forward.

How can you buy a pilot group? Come on, I really want to know!
