Commuting at ASA
 

Does anyone know how the schedules are at ASA for commuting? Is it possible in the begining?

Commutability at ANY airline depends on your domicile, where you live, your seniority, and the schedules available to you at your domicile. Most airlines have commutable schedules at least at the larger domiciles.

Not a good idea to commute on reserve (impossible) and 1 yr. probation means they will fire you for callin in sick when they see in your travel history you didn't get on your flight...

They can't really afford to bounce many people these days. They already don't have enough pilots and can't seem to find qualified people.

Ok... So you suggest I say "Dude go for it..."??? He's not asking a staffing question genius.

How long are the 200? 700? ATR? New hires on reserve for? I heard if you are on the 200 you fly alot... And and the 700 reserves hardly fly.

New hires on 700 reserve forever... 150 FO's or so.

200 FO's have just a few months on res and fly a lot. Close to 500 FO's maybe.

ATR FO's? Got me. I can't speak prop anymore.

What about LAX base, it that a 200 base? And is it full already?

I'm guessin you are not familiar with how airlines (or shall I say ASA) award positions...

You show up to class... They have slots to fill... Old farts get first choice. You get what your seniority can hold. If there are 10 LAX openings and 20 ATL openings you better hope you are in the top 20. $19.02/hr won't buy sh*t in LAX.

LAX is a small 200 base for now. After the new contract it will be both 200 and 700 dual qual crews. How they will work the pay I have no idea.

Generally speaking, most of the ASA lines suck for commuting. Lots of early duty ins and late duty outs. You'll need a crashpad which go for $150 to $300 a month in ATL, and who knows what in LA.

Do you even work for ASA? When did the union agree to dual qual? Last I heard that idea was DOA a year ago? Kindly name your source or retract your asenine statement.

Is there a ASA webboard for pilots?

Just keeping everything in perspective.

As far as I know it's still an option for bases other than ATL. I have not seen in ink where it has been officialy nixed have you? If you can find it and post it I'll be happy to Say Johnny P is the smartest person ever...
Or maybe I am just the king of misinformation like everyone else on here.
