People get less than 10 days off now
1st there are now reserve only lines that will only get 9 days off a bid. Also, the changed the way the stand ups work. Before, a 3 night stand up counted as 4 days of work, since you worked on 4 days. Now it is only counted as three due to some bizarre commutair logic. The bid is not out yet but people are saying that some will only get 8 or less days off a month. Add that to the fact that deadheads don't count for anything, so if you have one as the only thing you do on a day. that is a work day that counts for nothing.

I hate to say it, but my airline has become the new mesa, perhaps even worse. Fake threats of furlough's, 9 days off out of 28 in the new bid for reserve lines, and even less for line holders who have to bid standups. Please bash us like you used to bash Mesa. We have it coming.
Its a pathetic attempt by management to punish us for voting in a union.

I remember going to a job fair a few years back and the recruiter put up a picture of a beech1900 in reverse on a snow covered runway. Her selling point was if you want a challenging work environment. ***? We just want to go to work and come home in one piece, it really is just a job. They didn't have anyone with any real experience approach the booth.
PS. You certainly don't need bashed, anymore then the Mesa pilots do. You along with most of the rest of us have enough to deal with, you don't need poked with a stick. Good Luck

Not to mention, we now have 8.0 block days in ewr, and the company policy is legal to start legal to finish. Plus 6 day stand-ups where the last day counts as a day off, so there you are working 7 days in a row. I think this place is worse than Mesa.
