As someone who is interested in the Denver base, could you elaborate on what that means?

Junior manned to ASE means you are being "voluntold" (aka involuntarily assigned) to be an Aspen pilot. If you are at the bottom of seniority for Aspen, you will most likely be on reserve when you could hold a line as a non-Aspen pilot.

That happened to me when I was new. It's not bad living in DEN. Flying into ASE/EGE is fun and you get to avoid continuous North Dakota overnights in the wintertime. It will get old though. When they're low on regular reserves they will use you for whatever pops up. There's a lot more schedule flexibility in PBS and you can also trade trips.

Rumor check

So is there any truth to the rumor that we are not filling our Captain upgrade classes because we don't have enough FO's? Has SGU realized that less that 10% reserve staffing on the CRJ FO side isn't enough to maintain operational stability?

I guess we could just turn down all the extra flying we are picking up from other regionals, but we did send the message to SGU that we wanted more flying with our last pay package acceptance.

I thought it stopped last fall because we had so many CA that were waiting for IOE. But they didn't seem to mind because while they were waiting, they were able to pickup FO time for CA pay. Way better than paying 150% for open time. [/sarcasm]

I'm sure the 11/23 class was just delayed with the holidays. And they have some idea of the level of attrition they will have this month. End of the month is going to get ugly I fear.
