Is there a deliberate plan to phase out XJT? I don't know. SGU is probably not going to go to any great lengths to keep it on life support.
I suspect it is entirely opportunistic after the contractual committment (end of 2017) is up. If they can make a profit - great - it will continue. If not, I doubt SGU has any remorse cutting the cord.

Hello all,

Random question here. Do I have to use vacation/sick time to cover a trip that I called in sick for? Or can I request to just not get paid for it?

Thanks

They cannot use vacation, but you will be charged user time. The downside to that is that user time (if not burned by sick or emergency calls) can be used for vacation. So you effective lose some vacation when user time is burned.

If you need to call off, always try to drop the trip on schedplus first. A successful drop doesn't burn any time or count against your reliability. If you need money, you can then put vacation days on your days off...But the amount is controlled by you.

Might want to check on the bold part... Something about another airline getting 14 of them...

Yes Endeavor is in the process of receiving 14 from ASA. That's all they are getting though. We have been receiving the "newer" 200s.

You can use vacation time for a sick call. You just have to tell crew support that is what you want to do.

If I don't have any user time, do they automatically take vacation time, or do I just not get paid for the trip?

You aren't growing the fleet though are you, just replacing older airframes, no?

You just don't get paid for your trip.


I'm not sure what happens when you go below 58 hours for the month. They may want to use vacation to bring you up to the minimum hours required.
