So will Dyke be the Head Chief now?

 

The sooner we all understand the huge difference between crew "staffing" and "utilization" the sooner it will become evident that Comair wants as many folks on reserve as possible. I am of the unpopular belief that we may actually be adequately staffed but horribly utilized. The fact that just about every FO breaks guarantee every month and is working the maximum amount of contractual days is proof that the planning and utilization of crews is laughable. A reserve pilot breaking guarantee but not pay protected up until 75 hours looks pretty good to a manager that is predisposed to pretty much hate flight crews.

Having been through a furlough myself, I sympathize with each of you and wish you a hasty return to this 5hit-bag outfit so you can be abused even worse, but as for the bump in hours, don't shine your hardware just yet.

 

Since my hire date at OH I have been used a lot as a reservist.... I actually don't mind because I love to fly. However, reservist breaking gaurantee every month isn't new. It's been going on for years.

My friend at Skywest complains all the time because he is on reserve, with much worse reserve work rules. He is forced to sit at home A LOT!

 

Unrelated issue.

Question for the MX guys, schedulers, or dispatchers we see around here.
Is there a place, computer accesible, where ALL of Comair's tail numbers are listed?. Mind you, within the company.

Thanks....

 

Fleetwatch and TRAX. Now they won't show those aiframes that have already been returned, if that's what your loing for.

 

Not really, but thanks.
Interested in some sort of intranet/Epic page, or something like that. Regardless, thanks Bubba.

 

Hey Bubba,
I need "permisson" to sign into Fleetwatch, and TRAX doesn't really give me anything.
Could you email those pages, or print and fax?. If so, PM me and I'll send you a way to get in touch.
Thanks a bunch.

 

anyone know the dates that comair was PFT???

 

you mean there will be no Glamour Shots portrait of ng4 on Epic!!!!
