There isn't really a 'typical' reserve schedule, at least on the CRJ side. You should be able to bid to commute 4x per month. Depending on the reserve period you get, you could get lucky and commute in on your first day instead of the night before. Going home will always be a crap shoot.

We got an email yesterday from the union:
Wow. Just wow. The company knowingly STOLE from us. If they didn't realize they were overcharging us last year when the new premiums came out, they're criminally incompetent. They knew it, they just figured we wouldn't notice. and our inept union almost let them get away with it too, not bothering to do an audit for 11 months. At least we know how they paid for Brads raise now.
Take heed anyone considering coming here. This is how they treat us. This is how little they value their employees. Stay far, far away from this sinking ship.
A potential contract violation was discovered during a recent review of ExpressJet CRJ health insurance data. You should be aware that our contract limits the percentage of health and dental premiums that a pilot is responsible for to 30%. Section 28.A.3. reads:
“A pilot will not be required to contribute more than thirty percent (30%) of the cost of coverage under the Group Medical plan and/or Group Dental Plan.”
A review of the 2013 PPO premiums shows that the pilots are paying 36% of the total monthly premiums. By our estimates, the pilots on the PPO plan are being required to overpay their monthly premiums by the following amounts:
SINGLE - $20.94/month
2-PARTY - $49.88/month
FAMILY - $62.69/month
Based on the current number of pilots enrolled in these plans, it appears the Company will have overcharged the pilots in the PPO $559,810 by year’s end. Perhaps what is most disappointing is the PPO monthly premiums actually went down from 2012 to 2013, but The Company assumed those savings and increased the pilots’ monthly premiums as well. The MEC is preparing a group grievance on the pilots’ behalf.

Please show your support for PSA pilots in their upcoming vote on their concessionary contract. The TA bullet points are posted at www.stopthewhipsaw.com
They need to know this is not the time to lower the bar in this industry. We are not interns.

In my case it was maybe ten minutes from the time I clicked on ExpressJet on Airline Apps to when I got the call. I think it depends on whether or not they are trying to fill a class.

PSA is about to take it too if we don't stand up and let these guys know we all will stand up to prevent the bar from being lowered farther.

Does it matter? I think he is eagle captain... But even if he is Endeavor CA what difference does it makes? Mistakes has been made in the past! now is the time to make sure no further mistakes are made in the present/future! And the only way to do it is by uniting ALL of the regional pilots. That's the only way to stop the race!
