Airline Pilot Central Forums

Mean while the jet is still hurting for peoPle system wide. I have only averaged about 10 hrs a month since cOming off IOE in June on MIA ATR. Every ATR base is over staffed IMO. SJU has almost twice as many FO's as they do lines.

10 HOURS!

Damn you must be getting stuck on the couch a lot. Are there any trips in open time that you can pick up?

I'm not sure where you're going to be based but if your IOE trip is in base try to get in early and stop by the CP's office to do your base visit. Look for some Jepps updates and if by 45 minutes prior to departure no one is there then just go to the gate.

You know how it is brother........here's the pool. Now go swimming.

Haha yea that's for sure. Ill be doing it out of dfw this time. Even though im based out of ord. Are we suppose to get some sort of access to the airport secure areas? All I have right now if my crew badge. Also where do you guys suggest I park if I don't have a parking pass?

If your doing it in DFW, come into TERM 'B' gate B7. Next to the dunkin donuts, is an elevator. Use your key to call the elevator, or just wait for it. Go down to floor 1, exit to the right and walk all the way to the end of the hall. You will see the crew room, where the IOE CA will be most likely. When you get there, either go to the CP office which is in that room, or ask around, most likely the folks in there probably know your CA.

You might want to try parking at the academy, tell them your situation so they give you a temp parking permit and then take the crew shuttle to DFW, if you are going to comutte out of DFW talk to the checkairman you will be flying with, most of those guys are great about answering our questions to include things that are not related to flying. He will show you how to get your parking pass at DFW.

Its better to be overstaffed since they are parking them next yr.That way they can start displacing right away without the staffing problem.

Overstaffed? So why are they hiring like crazy? To be able to furlough? :)
Or are we approaching the end of the hiring cycle?

never said the whole airline is over staffed. Jet side of things are still hurting badly. However the ATR side to me seems very overstaffed, as mentioned above most ATR rsv guys are averaging 10 hours a month. I had a 7 hour month in July out of MIA.
