To be honest, some move and rent an apartment, some have crash pads, stay in an airport hotel, some even sleep in their cars in the parking lot, but many of us that commute to FAT (including some FAs), spend the night in the crew lounge if our trip ends late in FAT, or we commute in the night before. Surprisingly the crew lounge is large, plus there is a shower in the bathroom. The most I have seen spend the night in the crew room was 8. Just frowned upon where there have been reserves LIVE in the crew lounge for their multi day reserve periods.

The trips that end late in FAT, where you miss the late LAX flight on Eagle, SFO, LAX on SkW, most just crash in the crew lounge till the first flights out the next morning. Plus our Fresno "DEN MOTHER" is the BEST.....

I thought that was frowned upon since that Colgan accident...... I remember that Colgan is now turning off the crew lounge lights at night now to discourage this type of behavior.:eek:

Colgan mgmt's solution = FAIL.

Turn off lights, room is more conducive to rest, so instead of being an uncomfortable option, they say, "this is bad" but make it easier to sleep/be more comfortable.
Now if they were to install high intensity lighting (like they use for night road construction), and turn off the heat or a/c, then they would be onto something. :eek:

As per posting by KB, here is the tentative training schedule:

New hire EMB FO Class
Feb 28
April 4
May 2
May 30

CRJ FO New Hire and Transition Class
Feb 8 (has 6 new hires)
Feb 28
Mar 8
Mar 28
April 5
April 25
May 3
May 30
June 7
June 27
July 5

Hope this helps

I saw on the awards board in the SLC crew room that the March RJ class will have new hires in it of the non United furlough variety I assume.. Seems we have arrived at the bottom of people willing to go to the rj in IAH or MSP. So new hires can expect either the bro or the other plane, the uh, fixed pitch prop with a cowling over it, if you take it you'll be making more than me in exactly one year.

Some junior transitions were also awarded COS.

Do you remember the employee # (not exact, for privacy purposes) of the junior transitions?

Cant you access the "Standing bid list" to see it? Looks like 9 total have gotten COS since the 1/7 (8 EMB to CRJ transitions, , and 1 guy that looks to be a UAL furlough into the CRJ.)

What are you looking for?

Tfayd.................

Well NTFAYDD then. I just thought maybe you remembered it off the top of your head.

Since we aren't into helping each other out with information we already know in favor of making a snide remark, I looked it up myself. 358XX number was the most junior EMB-CRJ FO transition.
