Anybody know how to view loads and standby list on Wings?

 

Do you have your login and everything?

Once you search for flights, it shows how many open seats are in First and Coach on the right side. Clicking on one of those numbers creates a pop-up that shows the number of non-revs. Further clicking "Click to view full list of non-revs" gives you everyone's priority so you can see where you'd rank.

Does that help?

 

Perfect, thanks.

 

Speaking of Wings, rumor has it Airways and AA are going to be merging their benefits in October and we be losing our Airways benefits. Has anyone heard anything similar?

If that's true, I need to hurry up and use up my buddy passes before October

 

Thanks for input, looks like this is the path I'm gonna follow at the moment.

 

I believe there are close to 40 pilots over 60....the percentage changes monthly since we're still hiring
You can look through the back of the contract to count them up.

 

Looking at history is always a good practice when trying to decipher what the future may bring. Those LCC's you speak of are still career airlines flying their own code, and not a bad place to hang your hat. If anything, you get an Airbus type rating which sets you aside from the thousands of RJ folks in the big 3 pool.

Looking to the future, the trend for 100+ new-hire pilots PER major is going to continue for 10+ years. The pilot factories don't have the backfill capabilities for the regionals. We still have the luxury to cherry-pick what we want, but that won't last more than another couple of years.

First off, UAL is very HR driven and will do anything to avoid a lawsuit. Even the hint of impropriety, such as excluding one regional based on their UAX performance, is unfathomable. Mesa is unique because of its recent bankruptcy, and their is a huge divide in experience. The top of the Mesa list is made up of folks that may not be itching to leave, or are trying to get out but simply have a skeleton in the closet. Then you have the folks with lots of SIC time, but low on the TPIC time with no other special qualities that "ping" in the airline apps matrix (not a dig on any of you, btw). Then you have the folks that have been hired in the last 2 years getting experience and upgrading. I don't know the background of every individual at Mesa, but I would venture to guess it's about 90% the same as those at other regionals.

Now, to your UAX theory, let's flip that. Wouldn't UAL want to deplete AA's regionals, Mesa being one of them?

UA is culture driven, and accountants don't do the hiring. And as I alluded to earlier, we're a little lawsuit shy, so we'll continue to evaluate candidates based on app scores rather than pedigree. Also, looks like more Ejets, some of which look to be going to Skywest:

Not a rumor. The non-rev programs will be merged in October. It remains to be seen if non-wholly owned's will get access to the new system.

 

The non-rev program is already merged at envoy we have full travel benies on usair thru our aa jetnet. The D3 (buddy passes) are not yet available on usair untill they merge the computer system later this year. I believe I read in jetnet that wings will be merged into our aa jetnet... Luv my aa travel benefits..

I guess that clears up the rumor of Mesa having first right of refusal of the 30 new EJets
