No, just someone who has seen both sides of the coin

Pay cuts, company wide, helped that cause. The fact that they profitable shows that the restructuring worked.

Pay cuts, company wide... except upper management. BONUSES FOR EVERYONE!

Restructuring has indeed worked. I just hope the new CEO doesn't ruin the good thing thats going...

I dont understand, on this website it says the most Junior Capt is 01 hire??????? Are upgrades really taking that long?, also not to sound like a jackass but I have flown over 90 hrs every month, why arent you guys flying over there?

Saab, i have no clue. I'm a lineholder and I fly between 75-90 hours a month depending on what I drop/add etc. I have no idea why the reserves aren't being used. They told us 60 upgrades soon (cant remember if the end of this year or beginning of the next) and multiple "smaller yet more frequent" upgrades following that. Who knows.

I hear ya, but have there been any upgraded the past few years?

There's been some. 2 years ago they upgraded a class or two, then immediately downgraded them. They upgraded a few months later. Just recently there was a large upgrade class that got canceled halfway through the class.

Something is wrong when scheduling tells you that you HAVE to fly on your days off if you "want" your 100 hours. It's their responsibility to get you to your 100 hours, and in most cases, they should want to so they could pair you with whoever.

where does it say its my job to get you your 100 hours?? My job is to assign you to a pairing. I dont have a clue how many hours you have or dont have. I would love to give you guys all the flt assignments but i can only give what i have to give, i would love nothing more then to stop having you call and ask when am i going to fly. Ive allowed lineholders to drop days off pairing just so i can get an New F.O. time in the jet. We have been doing alot of drops to try an get your time in. I dont have the authority to DS a lineholder just to get your time in. You need to talk to flight standards if your close to the 120 day mark. Sept is a slow month always been that way since ive been here.

Safe Flying

That is incorrect information. In the latest vacancy bid I saw a capt upgrade with a 20xxx employee number, which puts him in a hire date of late 2002-early/mid 2003

ftrpilot I am one who wants to be used I have my 100 hrs but I like many others hate sitting at the crash pad in the middle of assignments. Looking at Reserve status why on a day like today will they not release some of us we are not going to be used and we could sneak home for a few hours. would it be worth bidding to fly until I can hold LC?
Just a question if you have the time
PS I thought you were headed to the ramp tower(that was you right)?
