1. If arbitration was favorable to CVG as a new base; how long before it would open? I have read anywhere from Jan 1 to end of 2026?
2. With FO reserve being a year at this point, how long to be able to hold Long Call Reserve?

Thanks again and looking forward to the potential of joining the team. I see SC as a place to finish my career.


Cheers,

Randy

Go to HAL if you want CVG.

What happens when your JCBA doesn’t pass with a B scale 33F pay rate? AZ might not be profitable on an AK A scale only.
Betting a career on AZ flying is dangerous for us all. More so on the AK side with the merger.

That B scale you speak of is FO pay vastly exceeding Suncountry 737CA pay. I’m confident they’ll work out the AZ flying. Either way, you have a job at a legacy and fly the 737 at AS on again suncountry 737CA pay as an FO.

Moneys easy to accumulate anywhere in this gig. Just say how you guys get to sport beards and we don’t. Now THAT I can get my arms around and can’t argue!
Peace brother AZ jet jockey.

I was on a trip last month that was supposed to be PDX-LAS, then was changed to PDX LAS CVG. Followed by a DH to MSP. Brutal.

They’ll get the people they need for CVG with those generous (industry leading) moving benefits. A little younger I’d be all over it. They’ll grow it organically thereafter IMHO. TDY will help get it going- that’s about it. Sorry senior pilots.
For those on the outside, Sunny is opening its “first of many” domiciles outside of MSP with CVG Feb 1.
Great job by the MEC and negotiating committee. Feel pretty good about these people representing us in sec 6 negotiations. Job well done.
I believe this benefits the company too. Clean contractional language and growth opportunities.

Default New bases

Any idea what the new bases in the future might be? I’ve heard DFW will be next after CVG. I also heard 76 and a330 was in the language mediated/arbitrated?

AFW/DFW, LAS.

Could also see DTW, LAL/MCO/TPA down the road.
