Need a favor from Delta Regionals
 

Sy now many of you have read about the new Attendance Policy that is starting at Pinnacle. The pilots are being blamed for Management's stupidity and it got me thinking. The memo points out that Pinnacle accounts for a little over 60% of cancellations for crew, but does 20% of the flying. We are short staffed and everyone knows it. How short staffed could be up for debate, but I would like to settle it so here is what I am asking.

Could someone from each Delta Regional post up the total number of active pilots on the seniority list and the total block hours that you have for July??? I would love to compare our staffing to others and see whether we are just inefficient or truly need to hire.

Thanks in advance.


UPDATED:

Thank you for the responses. I am going to edit this post when I see new numbers up so we can see a rough comparison of block hours per pilot from one company to another.

Pinnacle: Total Block = 39035, Total Pilots = 1225, Hours per pilot = 63.73
Comair: Total Block = 22782, Total Pilots = 1021, Hours per pilot = 44.62
Compass: Total Block = 11595, Total Pilots = 400, Hours per pilot = 57.98

Is there some easier way to find the block hours than adding the bid packets in position for all bases? I'm probably too lazy to do that.

COMAIR:

Estimated July Block Hours:
JFK - CRJ2
8,501
CVG - CRJ2
6,218
CVG - CRJ7/9
8,063

TOTAL: 22,782


Crew Headcount (July 2010):
Captains: 525
First Officers: 496

Currently in process of recalling at least 70 First Officers.

Compass Total block hours for July = 11595
Approximately 400 Active pilots. May be closer to 420. Will fluctuate rapidly with the flow ups.

I would imagine that this would depend on how your company puts out that info. At Pinnacle, the total hours for 200 flying is listed in each 200 bid packet, and 900 flying is in ATL bid packet. I added those two totals.

Total block hours = 39,035
Total Pilots = 1226 (this may not be completely accurate with people quitting daily and others out on leave)

Don't forget to *2 for hours per pilot. Last time i checked, it takes two to fly the plane.

Fixed and thank you. It is midnight and I am tired lol

Well I don't know how everyone else is counting theirs but if you subtract ML, NQ and MGRs and only count ACTIVE pilots there is about 915 on the most recent seniority list.

It doesn't raise the average that much but I think it does matter... depends how others count their list.

Started to gather numbers for you from Shuttle America and Chautauqua but it wouldn't help as S5 pilots also do United flying and Chaut pilots fly for a little bit of everybody else as well.

You should request a summary of their sick policies as well, if you're really interested in how you compare.
