Hey FTR just to pass it along, I would have done some EF today as I was just sitting around doing nothing. I had yesterday, today and tomorrow off and would have liked to pick something up but they hide the extra time.
What is the best way to pick some EF up? Just call or what? :confused: |

You will like flying the 70/90. :D |
i have 9 days off and have called a couple times to see if there is anything that needed covering and they tell me nothing!

CRJ FOs are staffed pretty well from what I hear. 700/900 FOs are a premium. Just look at yesterday's daily staffing rundown:
CREW AVAILABILITY: CA: AVG CR7: AVG FO: AVG CR7: CRITICAL FA: AVG and today: CREW AVAILABILITY: CA: POOR CR7: POOR FO: FAIR CR7: POOR FA: AVERAGE |
Hi everyone. If you live in the CVG area is it hard to do new hire Reserves JFK based?
The thought of a JFK crashpad is uggghhhh... The dollar seems to go much farther living in Cincinnati. |
Anybody know how days off get messed up? I switched 2 days in the SAW and now I have 12 days off. I got the day off I wanted without losing the day I wanted to switch with. I'm not complaining I'm just wondering how I beat the system.

Yeah, let's take a few of those Mesa/USAirways Express CRJ-900's from them!:D
If there is any new flying for another carrier, the mainline partner is gonna have to cough up some aircraft or Comair's going to have to funnel some of that cash flow to DL to lease or purchase some aircraft. |

What's EC? Extra Credit?:D

Excused absence
Usually an SD gets changed to EC after speaking with the chief pilots |

Hey, do we still stay downtown at OMA? Right next to the railroad tracks? Or am I thinking of something else?

I dono, i really don't see how delta would allow this. I mean, granted it's cash in their pocket...but still.

Is it so much to ask for a little growth from either Delta or another carrier? Look, I'm not asking for a 1 year upgrade, 2 year, or even 3 year necessarily. But I really don't feel like sitting for 5-6 as a FO only to upgrade to junior captain in Kennedy.
Being the devil's advocate here, I really think the March 11th meeting is going to be another routine Comair affair of "we really need to pull together" and "we need to cut costs in this area". Some good news would be fantastic though. |

I agree, welcome to the last 4 years of Comair...this news better be positive is all.
I don't expect anything newsworthy at this meeting. |

I really truely think when Maestro and the other side of the system (name is escaping me right now) are brought online, we will see some major changes in our trip structure.
On a completely (or maybe not) unrelated note, just had a message left on my phone from Anita in scheduling. I'm reserve on a hard day off, mind you. She called and said "I have a trip that I need help covering if you could call us back that'd be appreciated." Now me, being the optomist that I am, I am seeing that as a request for EF, since the big bad JM words weren't used. I'm always game for EF, unfortunately I'm in the process of purchasing a new place in NKY and had to work with the builder on some stuff today. Anyone see this call in the other respect? You're a reserve on a hard day off... No such thing as JM. Refer to contract 12.B.5: "A reserve pilot will be scheduled for at least one set of 3 and one set of 4 immovable days off in a bid period. A reserve pilot will not be junior manned on these days off..." About a third of the reserve guys I've flown with don't know about that one. |
Maybe it's about Manbearpig. And how we must all stop him.

Just thought...oh nevermind |
as of now you wont be able to look at your line without being self notified an you wont be able to view other pilots line thats the way its currently set up. not sure if its going to remain that way or not. no more stalking...
cptryan: crj we are fine if your cr7 your gold right now. down2mins: ill pm you back just give me a min the chow: finally nice to meet you cessna: it was a courtesy call to see if you wanted it sorry i missed your call was sleep. |

I don't expect anything newsworthy at this meeting. "Comair President John Selvaggio will host a company-wide net conference on Tuesday, March 11 from 1 to 2 p.m. John will provide a brief Comair update before beginning a question and answer session." Remember when they were going to announce us getting the CRJ90s and Bornhorst said it was the most exciting news in comair's history. This is just a brief update. |
A new hire class just came into ops for their tour. I wonder how much money Comair wastes having a class of 3 people.

Is there any way to find out how many flights cancel because there is no crew?
|
not as much as you think cancel cause of crew availablity if anything its a delay more than anything.
its a major reason why there so much shuffling that goes around |
The statistics are out there. It would just be hard for us to get them since we don't have that access. No, its not some scheme or coverup. There's actually a very good Delta website out there that lists all cancellations across the network and the reasons for the cancel. Except this company website can only be access from an in-house computer.
|
the company says we are fine while we have to come in every day to a mess and try and fit the pieces.
|
fleetwatch codes it cessna
|
Have we really become this miserable? First we accuse the company of being short staffed and not willing to train pilots and running things on edge, then we give trouble when they run a class, albeit small.
That's 3 more people below me on the seniority list. That's 3 more people that have spent many years and tens of thousands of dollars in flight training that have finally gotten their lucky break. Thats 3 more people added to the Comair pilot gorup to make us stronger. I'm happy that they have a class going through. I'm happy that they are going to hire 2 classes a month. The more the merrier. |

it will downsize before it cancels rule of thumb or upsize a leg or 2 to compensate.
