Loa 16
 

Screw you.... for years we fought for this contract. When things get tough we are all of a sudden giving things up we fought for???

I get the bid is delayed, fine. But the rest? Ummmm.... Indigo can go screw itself. We are a blip in the finances of Indigo. I am not feeling bad for them and this LOA is BS.

Why you heff to be mad ?

Did you actually READ the LOA? I'm guessing no. What did we give up past April? Maybe it's time you go call the cops again, like you did with the letter left in everyone's V file during negotiations. Your credibility here is shot.

Seriously? Did you even read ALPA’s email? Consider yourself lucky you still get a paycheck. Your lack of perspective is mind blowing.

No doubt...

The same people that have reading comprehension issues are also the ones that believe now is an opportune time to stick it to our employer as repayment for transgressions during negotiations. I would say it must be nice to live in that bubble, but that’s a very small and angry bubble.

The Ava is ONLY for April’s bid period and 930 is a gain. Solved most commute problems. The reserve language for May is also a gain. Multiple gains and one 3 week give. I’ll give u that the ability to reassign multiple sequences inside of the original footprint is a give (for 3 weeks) but your getting a hotel. Take the cola if it’s such a bad deal. These guys are hitting home runs with these Loa’s. The company wants something and we get 2/3 things in exchange.

Is it not through September 30th? Thought I read that it was. Maybe just with mutual consent?

I agree 100%

AVA can be extended. Mutual agreement. Which would be a good thing imo. Think how Ava will look in May with the majority of lines being turns. We’re talking original footprints in hrs not days. I’ll take one chance to reassign by 930 day prior for that. There’s almost zero downside to Loa 16. I’m planning on a May and June cola myself so I’m happy with that agreement.150k a year to not work while 10’s of millions are losing their jobs. Hard to complain about that.

Agreed. I’m also bidding for May and June COLAs.

Will they fly us in for landing school within 90 days when you are close to expiring for 3 take offs and landings in the sim.. ?
Never thought I had to ask this question again since coming of the WB in a previous life..

I think the company has a 3 month waiver on pc/pt? As far as takeoff and landings that probably does not apply but it might? That’s probably going to be dealt with shortly I’m guessing. There’s other training issues that need to be discussed. Their trying to avoid the nightmare of having potentially 800/1000 pilots dequal the same month or 2. Makes the ramp back up much more difficult because everyone will be using thier sims at the same time. Right now it’s hard to get non den based pilots to training events due to all the cancellations and contactual requirements. This is why you see the grace month cola restriction.

Nevermind. It had been years since I'd been on this site and I forgot how foolish anonymous message boards get.

welcome back to the **** show. There’s quite a few that ring in quite often that offer they’re opinions of the great unknown. I suggest popcorn before you begin your journey amongst the know everythings future telling with no base back up. Instead of sitting back and watching where the chips fall, no can do. They must spend their entire life here typing their hearts away. I must admit I frequent this more than normal due to the world losing its mind. But, intelligent pilots joining the club... well I just have to stand back and watch it go out the window at that point 🤦‍♂️

Problem of the Day
 

I imagine Crew Planning & Scheduling are flat to dealing with 'Todays Problems'. If there's something they can move to the right by 3 months they'll consider it then. It's likely none of the old rules they've been using apply anymore; so why waste cycles trying to avoid a problem that you can't either impact or timescale.

The FAA has shown willingness to extend relief (grace) to operators; and who can predict the size of the daily operation in 3 months anyway. That bridge will be crossed in 90 days.

Stay home. (fly a turn; go home again)
stay safe...

Regarding 90 day currency, the company could allow pilots in their 3rd consecutive COLA month to come to work sometime during their 3rd month and fly a single turn, to prevent them from dequalifying.

The company could even make it a requirement of accepting a 3rd consecutive COLA, that the pilot be required to pick up a turn sometime during the month to prevent from dequalifying.

I believe it’s 3 to and landings so that wouldn’t work. Hopefully they have a waiver.

Captain Cancel, is this you?

is Capt cancel the same person as Capt no go?!??

I guess it depends, how many cats does he have?

valid point

At least a solid 10 cats crazy.

who knows if it’s RR. Might just be the lovely PHL CP ):

Dude.... I just sprayed coffee out of my mouth reading that.

Well I have 9, plus 4 pomeranians... so I guess I am in the clear.
