Did he just complain about more new hires coming in below him on the list?

He's not just drunk he's in another effing plane of existence man.

Moving upward in base is always a good thing; increasing relative seniority in base is always a good thing.

This guy needs to be at Great Lakes or something--he obviously has some sort of Freudian punishment fantasy and wants to be abused, flown to the 117 limits, and at the bottom of the seniority list with no upward movement.

 

You can't drop reserve days, you can only trade them around for other days with less coverage.

If you have something you need to be off for, contact your chief pilot and request personal leave, or call out sick if you still want to be paid.

 

That number is a little steep afaik.

 

My seniority number has gone up consistent with a little higher rate than that over the last several months of working here.

 

Mine hasn't. Only about 7 a month.

Must be more attrition within the new hires or relatively junior pilots. That difference in seniority jumps makes sense, since others were saying people were leaving before/after IOE.

 

I'll fix that for you - people "being told to leave" before/after IOE.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for you- this is not Mesa 2006, FOs are not "quitting on Overnights to screw JO." FOs are however quickly moving up seniority in base and upgrading.

We rarely hear a peep from JO and compared to RAH, this is a pretty well run, fair operation.

We show up for work, fly and go home. No issues. The most I've heard from the company in months, is a phone call asking me - "Can I come to an earlier upgrade class, as they are upgrading more people than planned."

Heck, I've called off sick every other month and I've never heard a thing from the CPs office.

That training contract you refer to is not exactly sh*t. Mesa can and will go after you if you breach it voluntarily after your checkride/released from IOE.

The amount of people leaving is being skewed on these boards. And the ones leaving- contrary to what they are telling people they were in training with is NOT voluntarily.

 

Non-existent employee sponsored health insurance
Horrible flight benefits
No uniform allowance.
Pay.
CLT closing.

I'd guess half of your attrition is people finding a better spot, the other half is people that don't belong in a 121 cockpit.

 

Not sure if your are just adding "information" or debating with me-

Yes, our insurance SUCKS. No debating that. Needs to be FIXED.

Flight benefits are on par with every other Regional. Just list as a J/S'er guys.

Pay is not $30 an hour starting but on par with RAH, G7, PSA, maybe 3 or 4 dollar difference here or there. WE HAVE CANCELLATION PAY. Those of you who have never worked at a Regional with no cancellation pay really just have no idea how HUGE THIS IS.

Don't GET COMFORTABLE here, get your PIC time and GTFO!!!!!!

CLT closing - This is a REGIONAL. Sorry to break it to you - bases OPEN and CLOSE.

I am going to IAH with the full understanding that it may be CLOSED in 12 months and all the E175s may be sent to NEWARK, DENVER or SAN FRAN..

For those of you still weeping about CLT closing - once again - we are a regional operator, at the whim of our mainline partners.

If you can't handle commuting or going to a different DOMICILE.......

DON"T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT.
