It's not really JK's cronies you have to worry about, just if he wants to talk to you personally... he's one retarded SOB...

Duty Rigs
 

I guess since we don't have duty rigs the schedules can and will be crap. Lots of short legs followed by a 1 or 2 hr sits up to 5 hr sits.
Short overnights followed by long duty days.
They get the most use out of us and it doesn't cost them a dime.

Q. Is our scheduling department taking over PSA scheduling?
A. No to taking over the scheduling department at PSA. However, we are providing support in developing their monthly schedules through our crew planning department.

From what I'm hearing, PDT crew SCHED isn't taking over the job from PSA. Day to day managing and junior manning will still be done in house. Its the creation of the monthly bid lines for PSA which will be done by our crew PLANNING department. Hope that makes everything clear as mud.

You are correct Sir.

We'll find out what the lines look like on the 10th.

I'm guessing they wont be much different... everything the PDT guys have said are already here...

Who cares about who is gonna be running the schedule. I wanna know when they'll be calling back those on furlough.:mad:

Well planning the schedules could be a big deal in when the furloughs will come back...

crappy schedules could show a need for people to come back...

... im trying to believe track.

Is there any word on when the furloughed pilots will be coming back?

Unfortunately, No.

Nope. I keep checking this forum and my email everyday in hopes of seeing us get recalled. But nothing.:rolleyes:

Yea, with my number in the pool I'll probably be in the first new hire class back. Im checking my email everyday praying for good news. Hope that you guys get your call back soon and the classes start this winter or spring.

i wonder if pdt will have a class anytime soon. oil went bellow 100/barrel today so things should be looking up (key word "SHOULD")

Lets hope those class dates come around with oil going lower. All the emails I have been getting from PSA makes me think there is not going to be a new hire this year, looks like next spring. But everything can change tomorrow.

There are 467 active pilots on the seniority list with 70+ on furlough. A couple years ago, we had about 450 pilots and more block hours to fly. Reserves are not flying much and very little junior manning. I hate to bring you the bad news, but unless attrition goes up by a factor of ten or more, it is going to be a very long time before we see any recalls, much less new hire classes.

I hope I'm wrong, but thats what it looks like to me.

I don't know about the captians but they are junior manning FO's. I know they are short FO's I bet they will call some back soon. That is my guess.

Hope they do

I hope so too, we are due for some good news around here. I'm not sure about the fo's but thats not the first time I've heard about the fo's being short. I didn't know they were doing JM's. If they are JMing capts, I'm pretty close to the bottom and have never been called. Of course that may be becasue they know in my almost 4 yrs, I've never answered the phone.

Except for a trip to the paint shop... reserve has been a vacation (a crappy one at best). After WEEKS, I finally got called yesterday. The reason: The crash in Columbia stranded plane(s) and crew(s)...

If supply and demand says anything... things aren't looking so hot.

Who is getting junior manned?

What crash!?

...out of the loop...yes i know, i was on a vacation.

On Friday a Lear 60 went off the end of the only available runway in CAE. It's been shut down for a couple of days. Just do a search and you will find a bunch of info on it.

i appreciate the heads up
