Do you happen to know what flight times the 8 had at the interview?

Dude. They are CREDITING in the 90s. Not BLOCK. I’m Mesa without nearly the soft time skywest has and I haven’t credited less than 90 since November of last year. I am nowhere close to timing out.

I haven’t heard of this happening since 117s rolling clock, I guess it is still possible if to do that starting as a new hire.

It’s a defeating job and I’m sure TG heard it from a few who were willing to let him know about it. This is a quick answer to settle it down but it’s a reactionary borderline impulsive decision.

What’s important here is knowing the classic bait and switch routine by management hiding out in SGU. This may seem as if it’s a move to reduce the load for current CA’s on property, but we’re flying 60% of what we could be flying contractually. So what will most likely occur is more flying and now they got 2500 CA’s flying 90 hours of block per month instead of 1900.

Dude. See above. The claim is they were AVERAGING over 90 blocks a month. I was simply pointing out that wasn’t possible on any long time basis, not claiming they were doing it. You are rebutting the wrong poster.

So you work for Mesa but you’re trying to claim you have a clue on the schedules at SkyWest?

Dude. We are BLOCKING in the 90s. Not CREDITING. PBS gives us access to “bid transparency” where we can look over everyone’s assigned schedules for the month.

When will the individual domicile seniority lists be updated? I see a few people awarded CA but still on the FO list. If they have UPG in Oct/Nov will they still bid as FO's with preassignments?
