yes but theres plenty of cases where there just arent enough reserves, hence the junior manning

That's why I got double time, hotel and positive spacing.

so youre volunteering yourself to save the company from junior manning. but if it came down to no volunteers and no reserves, they would have to junior man, correct?

I see your point and that's when it SUX to be Jr.

the reason i say this is it would be a very real possibility this summer, at all regionals, and even at United...

XJET is to fly 25 145's out of IAD.... You heard it here first, TUE it will be official....:D

We are super short-staffed many flights have been canceled everywhere (all airlines) due to no crews...............Hopefully mainline will take some of their flying back realizing some of their regional partners just cant handle the amount of flying given to them, what scares me is when all of these guys that came on with 300hrs 20 multi are up for UPGRADE:eek:

yeah but unless they meet you for a flight, just dont answer your phone, a lot of times when they try and Junior me people they really cant use them for much, because they most likely are close to 30/7 or 8/24 happened to me many times.........

It's only possible at company's where the contract allows it... if there isn't a junior manning provision in the contract, the pilots can say "go to hell" and the flights get cancelled. (And then maybe staffing levels get adjusted...)

ACA/Independence didn't have junior manning. The result was that many crewmembers worked out deals to get trips covered. (Drop trip later with pay, pay premiums, DTR approval, etc). My philosophy was that I was more than happy to help out- as long as it wasn't taken for granted and I got something in return.

Starting when? And where are the 145s coming from?
