Commutair = Mesa
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.

new management
yes, why would we do that? The new leadership is practically begging us to run the company in to the ground. They think they make us feel pain, but they don't know how bad payback can be. Instead of working with us to make things better for everyone, PF wants to play hard ball. bring it on.

There is a reason hourly pay is higher than most professions. So to answer your question, YES every airline that I can think of only pays their crew when the door shuts till the door opens for the most part. Some may have a little difference in criteria but it all works out about the same. Good question though. Pass on the word when you can.

Is anyone hiring? Any chance of me getting hired in the near future? I have 660TT, 330ME, 350 Dual given, CFII, MEI. I'm getting really antsy to get out of the flight instructing world and in to the airlines, any suggestions?
