Straight pay within trip footprint (higher of original trip or flown of course). Typically 1.5 for outside footprint (all voluntary).


I'm afraid there is something wrong...at some point no amount of money is worth more of your time...certainly not regional money (or any rational multiple thereof).

Sometimes, the policy seems inconsistent. At least with 117 sometimes you can play the "I'll have to drive X number of hours home (or to my "friends" house) and then back, so you'll have to push the departure time so I get eight hours opportunity." They have no policy or precedent which requires, after a reflow, that you buy a hotel nearby to ensure you can get back to work quickly.

That's the way it is now, within trip footprint. Outside of footprint it's all voluntary (it's referred to as "junior man" but it's not really).

Important point: can XJT be junior manned (involuntary) into a day off, ie can they extend your trip or catch you on duty to assign another trip on your days off?

 

Typically? For us it's straight pay within footprint although it's always pay protected for the original value. So if your new reassignment is worth less, then you still get paid for the higher original value. Outside the footprint, it's ALWAYS 150%.

Anecdotal point: in almost 10 years, I've never had this happen to me.

Well, that needs to be fixed! That's bs.


At xjt, technically, you cannot refuse a reassignment or junior man. But people do it all the time. But yeah, they can roll your day off. If they do, they have to restore your day off or pay you 150% unless you are at minimum days off (12 days off), then you get both your day restored and 150%. For all intents and purposes, it's voluntary.

Another anecdotal point: I've only had a day rolled once. That's because a weather delay had us time out at an outstation.

 

Hired 400-500 in 2014, and now 60+ per month are showing up to class. there is movement, more than one new hire in training got SEA erj 175, and seattle has typically been one of our most senior bases. regionals are hurting for pilots, and I'd bet soon that contracts will go to regionals that can actually staff the flying. It's a good place to be I think.

 

Anyone go through training recently have any info about wait time between finishing sim and beginning IOE?

 

4-6 weeks for 175 I've been off for 2 with at least another 2 to go according to planning.

Just checked SWOL first trip in a week that makes my wait from sim to IOE 3 weeks.

 

Does anyone have any info on what base to expect out of training for the 175
thanks.

 

my delta/skywest flight was cancelled on Sunday due to no pilots. I heard a 4 million mile DAL passenger cussing up a storm and several other pax saying they'd never fly DAL again. We will have to get used to're and more cancelled flights.

 

I wont refute it happened, but I'd have to say it was a huge coincidence. SkyWest completed 99.84% of their Delta Connection flights for the entire month of March, and that was better than any other Connection carrier. Endeavor was a very close second.

 

I usually find when a "X million miler" is causing issues, they're anything but. Usually just a low tier if anything status, trying to bully people around that can't help.

 

Chicago most likely, west coast won't be junior with regards to rewards anymore
