Any new updates on IOE status? Jan new hire going on 7 weeks after Diff sims still waiting on the phone to ring. I am aware that they are pushing the CA qual guys first but I'm wondering if any "new to 121" guys from the Dec 22nd class have started and how long after diff sims did they wind up waiting.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Ive got a question about FMLA at PSA.
Someone mentioned a million pages back that things changed. Can someone give me a forinstance.. like say your wife has a baby. How much time will they give you/can you get off? Are you able to just go on (up to) 12 weeks unpaid, or can you use sick time etc etc.
Thanks

The recent change is moving the administration of the program to an outside firm vs it being handled in house. The in house person apparently had a reputation for screwing it up pretty frequently.
Now, the outside firm is a division of Ford & Harrison, which is a labor law firm that has the reputation of being the boogeyman, but at the same time one now gets to deal with someone with a certain mount of intelligence, rather than just some random desk jockey.
All that said, I think it's safe to say that the jury is still out on how it's going to work out.

Well, I've gotten around to asking my usual questions, but now about PSA (working my way through list of interview offers)... it sounds like you're hiring DECs there now which is a functional requirement for myself.
Of interest to me is:
How long is the AAL flying guaranteed through?
How is scheduling done, and is it reasonable for line or reserve pilots to be able to "block" days off at the end of one month and into the next (ie. 7+7 for a total of 14 across two months)?
When is the contract due for amendment and are there contractual pay raises until that time?
Junior bases?
What are the trips like... 1 days? 2 days? 4-5 days?
Thanks.

The current contract is through 2023 or something like that.
11 days off for reserve. The contract states that you're required to have 2 e day off blocks per month, or one 6 day off block. As to what you're able to accomplish with that, you can hold what your seniority allows.
Early 2020s. There are annual raises until that time, and quarterly pay adjustments based on the fleet count as we're paid a blended rate.
Currently TYS and DAY. As a street Capt expect to be on reserve for a while as FOs senior to you upgrade. There should be an additional base or two announced in the near future, but who knows what they'll be at this point.
Feel free to ask any other questions. I'll gladly take it to a phone conversation if you're interested.
