I listened to the message. He mentioned no recalls quickly and under his breath as if he was trying to avoid the subject. It would seem to me, that if they furloughed to 298 because they figured that would be a good number for the planned hours, and now we have more than planned, they wouldn't need 298 on the street. But again, what do I know.

From what i remember of the work rules..once your 6 hours is up, and they haven't assigned you anything..you're done.
BUT, if they tag you within the 6 hours with something, the report can be as late as :59 minutes after your scheduled "end of ready".
ex on ready from 1-7 - you can have a show at 7:59 so long as you're notified between 1-7
Am i right on that?.......it's been a while

I always ask the other pilot what the real departure time is on his DSL, since I've heard scheduling has modified times to keep you within 60 minutes while the rest of the crew was supposed to depart ten minutes later.

Have you thought about the possibility that if we hadn't just been given more flying, that more furloughs were coming? Why else would they have started a 55 Point/EO program? There are many factors involved, not just how this dysfunctional company utilizes it's crews. The only reason the reserves are all being used over 70 hours is because the line values for line holders is so low. Paying a reservist(lower seniority pay) vs paying a more senior lineholder is much cheaper for them.
And lets not think pilots are the reason they started the early retirement program. There are alot of senior ground handling/flight attendants/management/office staff as well, and as a bone to the pilot group, included them. Sometimes as pilots we think we drive every decision for the whole company and forget we are just members of the "team" (Congrats to the entire team!)

Hi y'all, got a question.
Got an email from Great Lakes. They are interested in "talking with me
about the opportunities they have available".
Question is, besides low pay and the awful bases they have, can you all give me reasons as to why I should not interview?.
Thanks.

The upgrade would be tempting. PIC time is PIC time, no? I had a buddy that worked there for a little under a year. The pay was terrible, the overnights were in "towns" you've never heard of, but the snow-skiing was great. Hand-flying non-precision approaches into high elevation airports would also be a good experience. Hope this helps and good luck.
