Do you understand how displacement works with our contract. Unlike some regionals they can’t just say poof now you are an FO. There’s a process.

So no the company doesn’t want to. However this money WILL be saved one way or the other. If they are forced by financial pressure and unwillingness by the pilot group to “share the sacrifice” there will be furloughs, base displacements and downgrades. You may find yourself in SDF.

 

Any MOU should have had a max hours cap on it to be fair. Both to reign in the company and those taking advantage.

 

How are you crediting more than you are flying? I haven’t been able to do that since the 200-300% days.

 

If you 're based in IAH, you get unemployment benefits from that state, regardless where you live.

With the $300 per week extended Covid relief, you make about $200 less per month with 76 hours credit, but about $100 more than on 68 hour credit.

I calculated those numbers with 76 hours. In reality, they would be higher. Texas takes the highest quarterly earnings within the last year, divides that amount by 25, and voilà, there are your early benefits.

If one had 90 hours in 3 consecutives month in 2019, your monthly benefit would be $3000 on unemployment, vs. $2584 (68 hours)

(Based on $38 hour FO rates).
90 x $38 * 3 / 25 / 7 * 30 = $1758 monthly
plus $1285 = $3043 MONTHLY PAY

So you'd be getting way more money sitting comfortable at home.

No crashpad, no ready reserve, no fast-food airport food! No inefficient commuting, 30 Days off vs. 12.

Texas pays 6.5 months of UE.

Be smart - Vote NO!!!

 

If you have a line and pick up open time it’s on top of guarantee.

 

Have any of you ever been in unemployment? It’s not welfare. You have to prove active job search etc.

 

Normally, yes. Not right now (at least in Texas).

 

He probably has to pay child support for 3 of his failed marriages. That’s why his 106 hours of credit are necessary to survive. I feel bad for those people who didn’t plan for the future and spent the money as quick as it hit the bank.

 

Thanks! Real info.

 

You apply at Delta, there is one. You apply at American, there's another one, you apply at Envoy, there you go.

How many do you need?

Pangolin, seems like you are the one spreading misinformation on this board, shame on you.

Unemployment Benefits

At present, the U.S. government and Texas legislature have not changed any laws or rules concerning unemployment benefits during the pandemic. However, Department of Labor guidance provides that federal law permits significant flexibility for states to provide Unemployment Insurance (UI) services related to COVID-19. Based on this, TWC will be waiving work search requirements for all claimants and the waiting week for those claimants affected by COVID-19.
