So I read through all 146 pages and only gleaned that reserve for Knoxville is a 1hr callout ... Does that still stand? The post containing that was a while ago.

Also, how many lines vs available FOs are there for TYS? Is the typical trip out of there a multi day or usually day trips? Is there a minimum pay for a callout? Cancellation pay?

I see the synergy amongst the crews is typically good, great news. Is there a long term fleet plan in place yet?

Thanks for any answers to that mound of questions!

Yes, apparently we were told in negotiations that if we were going to get a longer callout for TYS then there would be hot reserve.They(The NC) decided to leave it at 1 hour

Also, how many lines vs available FOs are there for TYS? Is the typical trip out of there a multi day or usually day trips? Is there a minimum pay for a callout? Cancellation pay?

Usually around 50 pilots with 30-35 lines. I'm not all that familiar with the schedules in TYS. It will be mostly multi day trips, if not all. If there are day trips they would go senior. No minimum pay for a reserve callout. Yes on cancellation.

Not that I know of, but there are people on here that would give a way better answer I'm sure. I "think" we have leases until 2019.

Thanks for any answers to that mound of questions!

- 1 hr call out stands in tys, instead of having hot reserve.

- Typically around 36 hard lines, 1-5 build up lines. Most trips are muliti-day. There's usually 1-3 lines that are mainly out and backs, but they tend to go more senior.

- Line holders have cancellation pay. Reserves do not.

- No long term fleet plan. Supposedly the company is working "hard"to acquire more 700/900's

Thanks to the two of you for the prompt answers. Much appreciated!

Two more: A few pages back, I saw talk of a pay raise in the new contract ... did that actually happen? Do most stay for upgrade or is there a large movement to leave as FO there?

Captains got a small raise. 1 or 2 bucks per hour. The fos got the bigger raises.

Only the senior captains got a $1-$2/ hour raise. The rest of us got only 20-30 cents.

Thoughts on if this will pass? Flying the line I've talked to a lot of captains who are not happy and say they will be voting no.

It'll pass with 80% approval rate. Psa forum has all the complainers including myself and the poll there is 75% for the TA.

I don't know. After reading the actual TA I'm having a change of heart. 4 carry in days are allowed per month instead of the 3 we have now? Isnt that a concession? RSV pilot language is not as strong as I was expecting either. Dead head pay is still 50%? Signing bonus significantly smaller than PDT's (why?). I was not shooting for the stars here but i can only justify so much. I'm affraid I'm a NO vote.
