Do you mind if I ask how you are sure this is the assigned mediator?

What's initial training like at F9? Curious about training pay and when health insurance starts.

Training pay is min guarantee (75hrs) and health insurance starts on the 1st of the month following your hire date. Hotels are NOT covered during training in Denver.

I got my own answer from multiple good sources, it is Gerry McGuckin. It definitely seemed too good to be true - so accustomed to getting effed over at this company. This mediator may not be Santa Claus but he sure appears to be the preferred choice (in comparison to the bios of every other NMB mediator) to hold the company accountable in negotiations. Several people are starting to come around to the idea that the union's proposed timeline to conclude section 6 negotiations (with a good contract) is an attainable goal.

He seems too good to be true. There are lots of mediators. He has to be the only former pilot who worked under Franke. It's no guarantee that he will lean in our direction, but it seems hard to believe he would lean in their direction. Even if he is completely fair and totally unbiased, I think our proposal is more than fair and the companies is bizarre and easily below industry average. I feel some degree of confidence here

Thanks!

Who is the insurance provider? I think I read Aetna (?).

Is it possible for a lineholder to add/drop/trade trips? What's possible in typical bid month... 12off, 14, 16...?

United healthcare is the provider. Adds/drops/swaps are all possible depending on staffing levels. Lately 14-15 days off seems to be the average roughly

I assume there are several plans to choose from as well... Family, POS, etc.?

I was looking through the contract on here (FAPA 2007), but I couldn't find a commuter clause. Does F9 have a commuter policy, and how commuter friendly is the airline and the trips?

Yes we do, 2 flights to get you to your domicile prior your show. Trips are a mix, lots are not commutable on one end or the other but there are plenty that are. As a commuter plan on flying more red eyes than you otherwise would, in order to facilitate commuting.
