[QUOTE=NewRJPilot;2280187]Does anyone have the dimensions of the flight bag space in the CRJ cockpit please?

It's plenty big enough for most "tote" style flight bags. Too small for the old, conventional leather flight manual bags we don't carry anymore since we all have EFBs.

If you have one of those eBags crew coolers, it fits great in that space. Plus room for a water bottle and your favorite naughty magazine

Note on the CRJ bag hole: the Aerocoast Pro Crew Flight Bag is too deep (>8.5") for it. Both Aerocoast cooler bags fit. The Contrails FL390 bag (the "Horizon" crew bag) fits perfectly as it was designed specifically for that space.

Default Two questions

So I have two questions

1. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the reserve survival guide? Sapa site is still down.

2. Any California crews know about the California sick policy? I was told that if you call out "California sick" that it won't count against skw sick days. Is this true and if so, how many days do you get?

Thanks

Try emailing your SAPA rep (if you know who they are). I doubt the website is coming back any time soon, the incumbent hated it and it was a big issue in this election. He won by a landslide so he has a mandate from the pilots that the website isn't important.

I've never heard of "California Sick" but FMLA does allow time off which cannot be counted for disciplinary purposes, and CA has it's own FMLA supplement law which allows more FMLA than other states.

Hey quick question for a new hire. If I wanted the E175. Will I be guaranteed it or will I have to initially bid for it? Because I know there are a couple of airlines like Mesa where if you want the E175, they'll give it to you immediately.

You are comparing Skywest to Mesa? you can go to Mesa and fly the 175 for less than half of the pay.

LOL...'California sick'?? I'm an SFO guy and I'll have to try that the next time I call in, just to hear the laughter.

There is no such thing, aside from the fact that CA basically has more generous FMLA rules. But FMLA requires a doctor's certification and cannot be used for your average cold, hangover, or other typical reason to call out.

I've known people who made pretty liberal use of FMLA. The minimum number of days is four, and all you need is a doc who will fill out the form.
