Just weird... They're still building a lot of what would be seattle trips out of LA, just to end up with a ton of reserve CA in SEA.... that then they deadhead to LA for LA trips... that end up going in and out of Seattle mostly.....
If it didn't make so much sense I'd be very confused.

Probably so they can build up the demand for CA's and then crank then out when the time comes and tout the "quick upgrade" card again. That would be my guess. No one believes the "quick upgrade" when there are only 4-5 per month.

As long as people understand that the upgrades only come as quickly as captains leave now. With the flow done, there is no more extra attrition due to it.

As for running the floor up to 90 hours, it's because they can. It is always cheaper to offer 150% pay than staff another pilot with all of the extra costs associated with it. You need hard %'s in the contract to prevent that kind of thing. Otherwise it's all an interpretation.

You guys hearing anything about Lufthansa? Last I heard it was supposed to be Blowjet in December, CZ in Jan 16 and TSA in Feb....but that was before the great meltdown....

Last I heard, CZ was Feb, TSA in Mar.

Compass postponed it due to GoJet's fiasco. There's no official date now. It won't be Feb 1st for sure.

LOL interesting. Don't know what is worse, Sabre constantly crashing or the Lufthansa nightmare. Maybe they should get some servers built in this century....

I've looked and can't find it. Does anybody know where in the contract it discusses what the rules are for seat fills? Just got assigned a STL seat fill trip and I'm curious as to what is expected of me. SV? MV? Am I required to perform as if this was my own training event? Is this a jeopardy event for me?

April 1 according to last conference call.

Just fly standard. You're there to help the other guy. You aren't being evaluated. Depending on the event you have, you literally could just be filling the seat and talking a bit. The instructor/examiner will tell you what's expected of you.
