So you are telling me that we had 13 SLC CA's that all went on LOA last October and that is why they used then? And as to fixing the problem, they have no intent to ever do that because they don't see a problem. It would be very simple to include something that made this option available to prevent a training bypass. But what are we willing to give up for it?

My intent was for the conversation to be geared around reserve levels. If each base at minimum had 12% reserve staffing, I don't think you would see the need for OBR. And the fact that last month we had 19% reserve levels in SLC CA, that is not an overstaff scenario where we should be acting like deplacements should occur. Is all the 175 FO's in ORD spending weeks at other domiciles since they are at 45% reserve staffing? Maybe a couple to SFO or PDX since they are in the low teens, but I'm sure it's more prevalent on the CRJ.

Simple fix. 15% minimum reserve levels for every base. 83 hour maximum forced for PBS awards. All flying over 83 hours is paid at 150% with the option to waive 83 hour min. If base is below 15% at the start of the month, all open time is 150% for the entire month. I would even settle for something that only made the 150% kick in after 2 consecutive months. We need a financial disincentive for the company to have 0 reserves in bases and use some of that extra money they are making on all the extra flying that is being picked up and give it to the pilots that are making it possible.

He's been banned, he might be back later but I'd suggest getting aviation advice somewhere else...anywhere else. Al Queda would give better aviation advice.

You've seen the type...brand-new luggage, sporting those FlightSafety "CREW" bag tags (I saw three on one bag alone), about 3 or 4 yellow "Flight Crew Do Not Remove" bag tags that SKW provides, and a giant DELTA sticker on his rollaboard.

If it was indeed him, I can confidently report that he looked like the guy everyone picked on in high school. It was embarrassing to be wearing the same uniform as this dude.

Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe it wasn't him. But I'd hate to think there are more of JB22's type out there.

OK, let's try this.

A forum by SkyWest pilots for SkyWest pilots. No premoderation.

Spread the word. We won't keep it running for 10 people.
