Default When is the next Commutair class date

Does anyone know when is the next class date for Commutair after November?

Would be December 19th by the 'normal' schedule, but you can imagine that's subject to change with the holidays. The next one would be January 16th.

For what it's worth they finished negotiations yesterday and we should be voting on the TA before long.

Thanks for responding. Any chance for pay to increase after the vote?

There is a new hire class scheduled for Nov 29th in conjunction with an upgrade class. The next two you posted are correct per the bidding cycle (if they are held).

Not sure yet. The sections that are TA'd look ok so far, although the full language of the contract is being worked on in the next few weeks. I haven't seen the compensation part of it so that is obviously a big part of what we are waiting on. I have heard block or better and a commuter clause have been agreed to in it, so that's excellent news for us.

Ah forgot about that one. Hopefully the upgrades will continue as well.

I also have heard deadhead pay...thank god considering deadheads are a tradition around here, I think I have three on this trip alone.

Are you planning to upgrade as well? Is it true that I heard there's a lot of attrition and they're having trouble filling classes.

Well I hope I upgrade lol. I'm a mid-year hire and roughly halfway up the FO list holding a pretty good and commutable line if that gives you an idea of how fast things are moving. Lots of fresh, high mins Captains running around currently.

If, and of course in this industry that's a big if, movement continues roughly the pace it is now I'll be roughly a year to a year and two month upgrade.
