What equipment flies out of CLE for XJT? CRJ or ERJ? Or both?

ERJ - we have been told it remain open indefinitely even with the hub closure for United.

Thanks! That's great news! What are the chances of a new hire getting CLE right out of training?

It's called low time F/O's. They took my high credit trips and I picked up high credit day lines.



136 total pay on the nose. Block was 71:05. 18 days off, 12 working day, gone 3 nights, 5 day lines with the highest being worth 17:30. Yes, 17:30 day line due to crew scheduling.

People that know me, know I don't lie and bs people. It's called working the schedule and trying to maximize my months.

Per diem is pay. You can say it's an allowance to cover food, but do you not eat when you're at home? Yes you do. I spend less on food than I receive in per diem. It is money in my check, it is pay. Deal with it.

Not bad, way to work the system! It has never occurred to me to pick up trips when scheduling takes one for training. I figured they would just pay the greater credit for each day if you did pick something else up. Good to know!

Read the contract! You can not pick up on the same days as your removed trip. That is pyramiding and you will be paid accordingly.

You must pick up on your days off for that to work. Of course if you pick up a 150% trip during the footprint of your ROE'd trip, than you will make a little extra money.

Exactly. I picked up trips on days that were NOT removed. But since the block went down, I was able to pick up high credit day lines.

Can you really count on this to happen every month? Unless you buddy bid with a LCA it doesn't seem consistently sustainable.

Even in the case of a buddy bid this doesn't apply to every FO. As in every FO cannot buddy bid with a LCA

A nice month for sure though.
