What an ignorant general statement to make given the childish, selfish,its all about ME posts that you and most posters on APC make...

I thought it was pretty clever myself

Uh, not even a little...

11 in the current class.

How are the contract negotiations going?

http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enha...3657553-41.gif

(they have ice cream at the meetings, right?)

Airline - "we will burn this to the ground before we give you guys nice things"

Pilots - "we'll provide the matches"



J/k, heard someone say that and I thought it was funny. It's been crickets man.

Can someone Pls describe reserve schedules at G7..?

I've heard it is 5 on 2 off & sometimes, it is 6 on with 2 off....

Is it true???

RSV is "scheduled" mostly 5 on two off and 6 on two off. The dirty little secret is that the scheduling department can actually move your days off with no advanced notice. To them, it isn't "Junior Manning"... so there is no premium pay for working your days off (this applies to reserves only).

It's a terrible policy, but it's due to the extremely poor contract. They don't do it all the time, but it does happen.

Which base is better ORD or RDU, for getting off RSV quicker & holding a line ???

Varies but right now it's RDU.

If on rsv plant GDO days after ur group of rsv days to block that from happening u get 3 a month if ur on rsv

Can you Pls decode & explain....

Lol sorry GDO guaranteed day off , reserve pilots get 3 a month
Ex. placement after working 4 days on reserve and having 3 days off after you request to have a GDO day on that 5th day that's to them is like having a brick wall put up from being used or extended .

Reserve you get 10days off a month . They don't like flying u on ur last segment of reserve unless they got a turn for u . If u don't have a GDO they Will fly u into ur day off if needed .
Hope this helps some of the new guys . Cause people don't tell u this lol

Lololol extended into your day off without premium pay lolo sign me up.

Thanks for the info...

What if your schedule is already for 5 or 6 straight days for RSV???
Can you still ask for a GDO after day # 4.

Dude that schedule sux! How are there still pilots willing to show up for the regionals? It's just mind boggling.

Keep in mind, that's a junior reserve schedule. They do improve, although 117 has cost a lot of guys days off and general efficiency.

That said, even a junior reserve schedule like that is far better than some 135 outfits (can you say 13 days off a quarter?) or a freight feeder gig.

If u have 6 days on you don't want to waste a GDO after day 6 cause they can't go into the 7th so it's a given


Other than that it does seem like a lot of movement . I'm currently flying 100hrs and getting paid about 120hrs in credit , getting my time in I can't complain .

GoJet updates
 

How in the world are you doing that?????^^^^^

When or how do you specify where the GDO days get placed?

Email scheduling.

looks like 12 upgrades for May class

12 new hires scheduled as well.

What's going on with a TA? Anybody have any idea?

Ummm you don't get one. That's the point. I'll keep on saying for eternity

And u say this cause ?

Its on its way to having a NO attached to it.

Do you really even have to ask?

No please tell me

Why don't you tell us why you think you will get a TA over at gojet?
Please enlighten us...

I don't have to tell you #%^*

Lol

Can someone explain how the new hire training is spread out?

I have been told it is 89 days but what is the breakdown.

Two weeks in Indoc at HQ.
Three weeks at Flight Safety.
Then Sim whenever they schedule it. Some of our class starts just a couple days after Flight Safety, some are waiting a week and a half.

For me from the first day to the checkride is just over two months. IOE is after that, however they schedule it.

Bringing back the thread! Any new updates from guys in training?

Is it true that gojet had a few 700's for delta parked because they refused to pay for a C check? I heard a rumor that they're starting to return the delta 700's and they're going back to ASA

Those 700's didn't come from ASA. They came from Comair after Delta f%^£ed them over.

ahh. rumor i heard is that they're going to ASA from gojet. anyone else hear this/confirm any of it?

Someone feel free to correct me.... but since Delta owns the aircraft, they are responsible for the maintenance costs. Thus, GoJet/TSH wouldn't have to foot the cost for a C check.

There was a class of 2 new hires in May & a class of 6 NH & 2 Upgrades in June..

Other than that, 2 weeks as usual for everything else....

That's what I thought too. Plus, I can't believe daddy D would let 700's sit around not flying/generating revenue just because of the cost of a C check
