He probably didn't disclose something in his past and HR found it in a PRIA or background check while he was in training. There have been quite a few people that Mesa has shown the door for trying to hide something from their past. If you just disclose whatever it is, 9 times out of 10 they won't care.

 

That 3:57 red headed stepchild popped into my schedule this month, not that excited.

 

Me too. It's about the same as LAX - XNA.

 

So you guys rather do PHX-TUS turns for 4 hrs instead?

 

Hahaha that's what I was thinking. I would much rather do the longer legs.

 

LAX-XNA is the longest scheduled flight I've noticed on a CRJ9. What is that blocked at both directions? Does it ever get weight restricted going west, full of passengers, with lots of bags and an alternate?

 

It's one of those things I hate doing, but wish I could do on those 5x40 min leg days

 

I'm fine with the leg length. Not crazy about the 4:45 am show for the return leg the next morning.

 

I'll fly as late as you want, doing 6 legs or 1 or 2 long legs.....I only ask one thing...

LET ME SHOW AFTER 12:00pm.

I'll leave those 6am shows for the old guys like Skillett. lol

 

Piedmont's flow is real. I've done contract compliance work for two airlines over the course of a decade now, and I can safely say that flow letter is effing solid.

I've expressed to our negotiating committee that I think a flow is an important aspect of our next contract, becuase it would help to solidify our new hire "show rate" once upgrade times inevitably stagnate. That helps us maintain and continue to grow our business. I hope the Association pursues a flow or preferential interview with UAL or AA--it costs nothing, and it gives all of us a lot of career-planning assurances, if it's on the level with the deal the wholly-owneds have secured for themselves.

I would trade any pay raise in any new contract for the deal PDT has. Not joking. Just knowing that you're going to have a place at a legacy regardless of interview performance or experience or anything else is like having a box full of solid gold buried in your backyard. It costs nothing but it means everything.
