Some folks don't care where they fly. Many folks bid specific overnights for specific reasons, such as layovers in home town with family or long layovers to work out or work their other job (the REAL job, the one that allows them to work for a regional in the first place). For me all of those apply, it's a big QOL issue.

There was a time when I could bid productive trips. We once had a grueling 2-day that blocked about 8 hours each day with a short overnight, credited about 18, and got back at midnight. Not fun but that was the only trip you had to do most weeks, ie five days off/week. No with the gross inefficiencies due both to 117 and SGU, I have to build QOL into my trips.

YOU are a perfect example of why we do NOT want EFB notification...you're willing to accept any schedule so they can just leave you a VM, you'll call them back and get your reflow. VOLUNTARY reflow. I don't even mind EFB notification as long as it's voluntary, ie an "offer" not a "notification".

Now I tend to be something of a "company man" in that I'm a team player and want the organization to succeed. The company is claiming they need flexibility during IROPS...Ok, I buy that but the problem with SGU (or any other airline management) is if you give them an inch without a defined boundary, they'll take a mile. If we give them this carte blanche they will use it as an everyday staffing tool and very few folks will ever fly the schedule they bid or finish the trip they started. I'd be fine with mandatory reflow as long as it's limited, such as they can only reflow you once a month or during REAL IROPS caused by major weather (determined by some objective trigger, such as schools closed).

 

You're not talking to me, or any of the other senior guys I know. I'm sure everyone is for the 1-2-3 pay, it's the notification part that's unpopular.

 

Any one has details on the shortened CRJ course?

 

Well, it's shorter than the regular one.

 

1st sentence wouldn't really be a deterrent as much as a "reason". You know...because...grammar. Can't you edit these things???

I have heard it is 2 weeks, condensed and sweet for current crj guys. But you should talk to the hiring people for the real details.

 

Oh you think I could get out of the msp trap??? Let's get this "all over the country reflow" signed!

 

We have very little leverage. We are a regional. We dance for mainline. Cool your blood boil that ain't healthy. Have you seen our profit margin? Hurray we made 20 million in a quarter... But did you see net income? Our profit is a drop in the bucket. The ship has to be run tight or the few percent we call profit is gone. It is the market we are in.

 

For those who think we would just get reflowed allllll over. How? Our turns are way to short, our precious performance would tank. A real problem is those pesky cameras on the efb man, they could turn those on and watch us flying. Yikes bro.

 

You take it easy. What's wrong with you? Let's make some gains. They don't have to financially burden SGU's house boat parties one iota! And we can still make gains! Why are you so willing to strap yourself with the yoke. Once it's on they won't take off. Wake up man. It can still be a win win.
