I disagree. The company has shown a lot of leadership within the past few weeks. Sadly of which a greater part has been with the ground handling side of the company. All we are is managements flying club and were on the back burner. You are right, expect it to continue.

Thanks for the clarification Dera, great news.

Now let’s see if it’s accepted....

Really? Sure, the Chief’s have been out and about, communicating often. Above that level I would expect more than a note here and there and a “wait and see what American does.” A clearly defined strategy of what we’re doing as a flight department right now would produce more confidence.

the longer one stays out at 19 hr guarantee the lower unemployment benefits will be when and if they file down the road.

Check you union email and read.....

Hey buddy.

You should remind them that contractually, pilots have no obligation to answer their phone when on a duty free period, and that scheduling should afford pilots the same patience that the pilots are giving them on the advice of their union leaders. It works both ways and the union represents pilots, not schedulers. Please don't volunteer at APA when you come over.

Speaking of embarrassing...literally 1 upping ENY by 1 hour, and thinking that isn’t an insulting enough lowball.

But then they even 1 up themselves and offer 45h to work 1-4 days less. So they will pay 40% less for us working (depending on bid status) 1 day less?
And to top that! They insult us with being able to pick up open time! So you can work your 15 days off down to 11 days, and get paid less than 75h! With the reduced schedule, I doubt there will be open time, but even if you were able to block MMD for 4 days is 16h. 16+45=61.

Would you rather get an 11day off schedule at 61h, or 75. Hmmmm, tough one.

Thankfully common sense will again prevail among the pilots, no one will take these and the company will have to find a natural balance. Because right now 100% of the pilots get 75h. That is going to cost them more than 50% making 75h and the other 50% making 60h.

I don’t know where the balance is, but like I said earlier, 55h, is a starting point. But anything less is just shooting themselves in the foot (and wasting time drafting nonsense, and further reducing and semblances of a good relationship with the pilot group), because if no one takes the 20h or 45h insult, they are stuck paying everyone 75h.

Unbelievable.

Was this seriously negotiated? I want to give the negotiating committee the benefit of the doubt and assume this is PDT proposed and they said
NC:“How about 65h.”
PDT: “rejected, 20h.”
NC: “well that’s stupid low. Ok, we’ll see you in a few days/weeks after nobody signs up for that”

Piedmont Airlines Embraer Crews Facebook page is run by the boyfriend of a certain inflight manager. Just wanted to shed some light on that fact, if you were wondering why certain mods are slanting everything to paint the company in a nice rose colored tint. Carry on....

Looks like a new page has been made
