How is everything as a whole? Company good to deal with, treat pilots somewhat well?
What are normal block hours a month I see min is 72. How many legs a day on normal lines? how long to hold a line ? Thanks 😀 |

What are normal block hours a month I see min is 72. How many legs a day on normal lines? how long to hold a line ? Thanks 😀 My opinion: Company treats me well, I don’t feel harassed at all. Everybody seems to be pretty reasonable and helpful. I think it would take a lot of deliberate crap to get fired. You’d have to basically build a red ink resume with the chief pilot to get to that point. Crew schedulers are respectful and fairly reasonable, although they make plenty of mistakes. A hot topic right now is rescheduling. A lot of disputes generated because scheduling is apparently bypassing our rules regarding using reserves and x/y (premium) list of volunteers. The only thing we can do right now is NCC it. I only have been rescheduled twice, but some pilots seemed to get it way more and their frustrations are valid. I couldn’t tell you the average of daily legs systemwide, but 2 legs a day would seemed like an average. We do have few trips with 4 and 5 leg days, but usually it’s only 1 day of a 4/3 day trip. Average line value for FLL Jan bid was set at 82hrs. You can heavily modify your schedule, so how much you fly it’s basically up to you. You could be a part timer or fly 117 limits. As a reserve though, you can’t manipulate your schedule anymore and breaking guarantee it’s unusual. |
Thank You for the info...

Do most of the lines go over the 72hr min is 80 a month reasonable?
How are your Hotels? Hilton/Hampton Inn Level? Thanks |
pbs allows you to bid min/max so line values will vary. in general the hotels are doubletree, courtyard, marriot, westins etc

How are your Hotels? Hilton/Hampton Inn Level? Thanks FLL FO FEB 2020 bid: Average line value : 82 Normal credit window : 75 - 89 Maximum credit window : 82-89 Minimum credit window : 75-82 In FEB If you bid for Lower credit window, your line will probably be upper 70s credit, if you bid for maximum credit window, your line will probably be around mid to upper 80s. I’m oversimplifying but you get the idea. Having said all this, you can still modify your schedule after the awards and work more or work less. Obviously you’d be restricted by the red/green grid and what’s floating around in open time. And just to understand, what’s your concern regarding credit? Want to work more? Want to work less? Regarding hotels, I replied to that question in another thread. If you’re really interested in NK, you need to read all these threads. For pay purposes, while on reserve you make min guarantee. It’s hard to break it so budget on 72hrs. |
Classes are fairly good sized. How is seniority determined within the same class?
Not that I suppose anyone can do anything about it, but it might help to get the desired base if you were senior... |
