Recently flew with a guy that said there was a meeting with a group of CKA and Warren Christie lately at JBU and they brought up how much our QOL has taken a hit lately with these crap pairings and he basically said well don’t expect that to change….
THEY
DON’T
GAF what we think….
Its all about the bottom dollar.

They can squeeze a couple more percent of productivity by ruining our QOL and the pairings... But they I'm sure have seen an increase in sick calls and have or will see an increase in attrition as guys that might otherwise be on the fence can't take it anymore.

It's very short sighted to try and save money this way as ruining pilot morale harms the airline in so many ways.

I am totally shocked no way WC would say that. He is on our side he wants to help the pilots he knows we should be paid more. :)

He’s a military man, so we can trust him :p

Everybody ought to go read the AS proposal, not that it is necessarily the be-all and end-all, but because it does have some good things that you might want to incorporate in the CBA and the JCBA - DOJ willing. With luck you will get two bites at the apple this cycle with no feet dragging by management on the second one.

I really like the 150 percent reassignment and 2 hr late fee paid to the pilots.

QOL in Boston
 

How long would it take to hold weekends off on reserve in Boston?

1-3 months after IOE. I got it the month after IOE ended on SCR and two months after that on LCR.

*on the 190. Don’t know about other fleets but I don’t think that much longer.

I was in a Jan class this year, BOS 190. Second bidding month after OE was May and I was holding every weekend off on SCR. Been bidding short call since and having every Saturday Sunday Monday off. Bid for a line in October, every weekend off as well, just had to trade a bit, but I was originally awarded a line only working 2 Saturdays.

Any update on SQ reserve times? BOS/JFK?
