So why'd we land at DPA tonight on the AVL-ORD flight?

For those asking about time on reserve for newbies, 6/2 class here, ORD based. I thought I'd have at least a partial line next month, but no luck, although others in my class that are more senior had partial lines for this month. November will be my 3rd month of reserve.

As far as life on reserve, the past few weeks I've had great 4 days trips. This week I've been sitting in my crashpad for 3 days without a phone call yet.

I know a few guys from my class managed to get DEN and COS after being in ORD for only a month. I know one of them even got a line right away in COS.


Also want to add for Flylowflyfast....if you're already worried about missing your wife's cooking and not seeing your kids, you're going to be in a world of hurt coming to an airline, or any gig that requires spending so much time away from home. I've flown with a lot of guys in my career, but the ones that stand out are the ones who sit in cruise, watching videos or looking at pictures of their kids over and over again. They're always counting down the minutes until it's time to go home, or always talking about how much they miss the kids. It sucks flying with them because they suck the life right out of you, and are miserable the entire trip. Flying for them is 110% a job, with no shred of enjoyment anymore. Don't be one of those people.

Look into REPUTABLE freight companies near you but DON'T sign a training contract. Best of luck!
Any recommendations on REPUTABLE freight companies in the DEN or COS area?

For some reason the pay scales still aren't updated on our site but 106.4% 2nd year RJ pay is $39.52/hour for 2nd year E175 pay.

The fact that you derive pleasure by trying to crap all over your employer and co-workers is very telling. It's a sign of a VERY unhappy person. Seriously man, from what I understand we have a pretty decent EAP program, and I hope that you use it before really going off the deep end.

Knowing who and where ya work is important, the majority is all good. But when its bad its breathtaking. I would like your psychological analysis on this beauty.

They were talking about a flight control failure on the radio but didn't give specifics. I'm interested to see what happened.

No psychological analysis needed. It's called being an at-will employee.

Not quite that simple.......but nice try, the odds of SKYW merging the lists are slim to none, but if you have knowledge to the contrary feel free to chime in.
But if you read the facts of the case, it gives you a glimpse of the upper management philosophy at Skywest Airlines, and by default Skywest Inc.
Skywest could have defused this case at any number of points in time but chose the path of sticking to their guns no matter what.

You have a "magical" way of converting everything into a Pro-union discussion.

And do tell, how would having a CBA deter this company from following the same path. The only difference would have been is who paid for the laywers up front.
