Well the pilot group here has officially lost all faith in management. Managements half ass attempt at "improving" the schedule is laughable and with no pay raise our pay continues to remain far below industry standard. I know this is the last straw for pretty much most if not all the pilots here. I hope management really feels it when they continue to turn down customer trips due to pilot staffing and start losing customers left and right. Smh

 

What are the numbers?

 

Numbers too,

Don't lose faith, I've worked for far less $$ Than what is posted at the present.

 

I just puked in my mouth today........

 

PIC Under 3 years here you now only get 8 days of vacation and sick combined and to use the vacation days they must be connected to off days or have 3 duty days on either side of your vacation. ��*♂️ that as an improvement? Good luck!

 

For all those wondering what is going on around Airshare, this post should offer some clarity. In April the management team went to every base to talk to the pilot group about suggestions on how to make Airshare more appealing for pilot QOL. Many items were discussed with Pay and Schedule being the hottest topics. The first response we heard regarding the schedule and pay decision was in July. That email set a deadline for management to make a decision and inform us of their decision no later than September 1st. On August 31st an email was sent to the pilot group indicating a decision had not yet been made. We were given a new deadline that guaranteed a decision by Sept 29th. The decision was released yesterday and only addressed schedule. There was no indication that pay would be addressed too.



The new schedule is as follows:

8 on 6 off for Captains that have been here 3 or more years and goes into effect next year. Captains with more than 5 years of service will start the 8/6 in January, 4 year captains start in March, and 3 years captains start in May. As a result of this new schedule, the PTB structure for captains on the 8/6 schedule also changed. Captains with 3-5 years of service accrue 8 days a year, Captains between 5-8 years of service accrue 16 PTB days a year, and Captains with more than 8 years of service accrue 20 days off a year.

Captains with less than 3 years of service and all SICs will remain on the 10/5 schedule.


I am making this post so anyone considering this company can have the most information at hand before making the jump.

 

Sad as it is the SIC schedule looks like the promised land compared to the 12/2 24/7 on call schedule I'm working in LRD. How hard is it to get SAT based as an SIC?

 

I understand the frustration,

Thank You for the info,

I'm assuming new hires will get the same schedules as they meet the Senority requirements?

Long term, it looks appealing, short term, Not so much. If everyone was the better schedule, they would win..

Gotta weigh the trade offs..

 

So say you are an SIC for 2 years, then you get to be a captain for 3 years. You get a slightly better schedule after 5 years...is that what they are saying? Still dumb they don't do home basing.

 

Sounds like this encourages people to fly sick. It’s cold and flu season. Make sure you shake hands with all the pax after wiping your nose.
