It's almost like the company should slow down a bit and not go after every freaking route up for bid... Need to get the fleet and maintenance under control. What a concept. :rolleyes:
Yeah that would be a great concept or actually hire a lot more people for the Denver base. Or here is a wonderful idea have an actual group of reserve pilots?!?!?! It's amazing to me how prepared (pilot wise) every other base is. Dallas has around 30 pilots total and flies to 3 cities and Denver has just over 40 pilots and flies to 12 cities. (Denver has 4x the routes and only just over 10 more pilots?!?!?!) They have had plenty of opportunities to staff Denver but consistently keep running it on the minimum amount of pilots. I also don't get why they consistently expand the flights out of Denver? Denver overlaps half the routes to Dallas and Phoenix? Why not have the PHX crews who fly 40 hours a month and 15 days off come to Alamosa and CDO or atleast meet us there instead of Denver flying KDEN-KALS-KPHX? Doesn't make much since to me. Same with Dallas we meet them in ABQ and even fly to Silver city together about an hour apart from each other? |

They seem to be increasing reserve coverage, and I'm guessing chances are good the captains we have here on reserve most of March will end up in Denver to help you guys out. |
Training Contracts
No 135 operation is allowed to hire a pilot without training them. Zero option, must train, cannot avoid or bypass this. -Required By FAR-
If every pilot refused to sign a "training" contract, 135 companies would be forced to train, anyways. It is not a training contract. |

It's a "don't get your time and leave us so quickly" strategy.
I can understand it financially from their side, but if you're willing to treat your employees with respect and deliver on everything you told them during the interview, you probably wouldn't have to come up with a financial scare tactic to keep pilots. |

We have a winner |
Just some notes for everyone:
Had the HR interview with Monique. She said to expect a call for the technical interview in the next 5-8 weeks...I got called about 24 hours later. Also they're really recruiting for the new Baltimore run. |
