It could definitely delay further than that. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t.

The new CBA will be finished sometime in the summer of 2021. Keep in mind that we are no longer negotiating to a conclusion of a CBA but are getting a CBA that is being concluded by an arbitrator. Arbitrators can rule any way they please to include the possibility of giving us pay cuts.

Reference the Alaska Airlines pilots CBA arbitrated in 2005:

Thanks for the clarification!

So do you get 13 off indefinitely there or can you get other schedules the senior you get? Asking for a friend..

OK, quick question for fellow Greek Titans: FedEx seems to be capitalizing on the consumers using Belly Freight on Pax carriers. Their thread indicated their sales folks are corralling “7 year contracts” with these customers as the Pax carriers divest their International wide body fleets. This is not an argument if they will/won’t, it’s based on reliability and demand sustainment. Already realize we have some new charters (listening to Atlas News Radio) working the belly freight issue possibly, but are these long term contracts?

Yeah, the risk with my advice is low expectations set us up to accept low results.

With a few exceptions the vast majority of the lines are built to 17 days.

Also straight 17 days on the 737?

How does bidding work in general? Do you just get all the lines and list priorities?

Do they allow trip trades?

Lastly, I want to start studying something. How can one get ahold of memory items or training documents to read on? Is it risky to take a look at YouTube videos on systems?

COVID has me a bit bored...

Is there a way to tell by looking at a flight number which flights are passenger charters? Do they have a specific number range?

Trip trading is "allowed" at the discretion of the company, which means that in reality we do not have trip trading.

What fleet are you being hired into? If it's the 777/767, start studying general knowledge stuff like ETOPS or NAT/oceanic contingency procedures. Oh, and learn how to use proper ICAO radio phraseology. Seriously.
