Just curious is there any way a person junior to me gets a line without any pre assigned credit/training/vacation? Been leaving messages with Alpa past two days but no call backs. Just scratching my head on this.. This is on CRJ side btw..thanks |

Someone already mentioned, but the only other way I can think of beyond an error is if you did not select to allow single days off. Looking at the 200 in ATL, there is only one really junior guy who was awarded a line and he got it using a single day of vacation (Thanksgiving day no less!) and bidding vacation low. |

It would likely have to do with carry over credits or end of month trips from October. If you had a trip that conflicted with the first weekend in November (not hard this month), you would not have been able to build enough credit to get a line. Likewise, if they had a trip that started on the 31st, that extra bit of credit might have been just enough for them to meet the threshold.

All this stuff is reason why PBS needs to be changed. Junior folks getting lines happens in IAD almost every month (I have both benefited and been stung by this).
Why can't PBS trim pairings so the senior person who rightfully deserves the line qualifies and gets it? Why can't PBS mix naps with regular pairings? Why can't we designate to go 1 below the minimum number of contractual days off to get a line versus getting stuck on reserve? The QOL and financial diffference between holding the line and getting stuck on reserve is too great under our current contract to let things like this happen. That said, I am all for giving someone a break and getting them a 65 hour credit line during vacation month. Hopefully the new contract greatly revamps the reserve rules so the senior folks will actually want to bid it (you know, like the majors do). |
All this bidding below min days off and 1 day off between work blocks is pathetic.

Hourly rates aside L-XJT's contract is one of the best I've worked under. I think that'll be beneficial to the L-ASA side in the new contract. So letting XJT fail may not have been in your best interest.
Pilots at RAH, Colgan, PSA, GoJetz, etc etc etc would kill to have either one of our contracts. Not sure why the attitude from many XJTers that they feel like they were bought by a low- or medium-tier regional. C2007 definitely has some flaws but put it up against most other regional contracts it is a pretty decent package. Back to the meat and potatoes.... Spotted a big stash of EMB-175 materials in the ATL CPO when I was checking in for a trip last week. Anyone have the dish on that? |
