That's a great point. However, I wasn't thinking to do the training in a RSV month because I thought the pay would be "ADD PAY"...i.e. Above our min guarantee. Is this not true?

Good point, I'm not sure either. The contract doesn't explicitly say add pay, so guess how they will interpret that.


9-J-2-c-(3) A Lineholder who attends training that does not require a schedule repair shall receive five (5) hours of Add Pay per day (including days consisting only of travel in accordance with Section 9-J-3-a). If he calls in sick for training he shall not be paid and shall not be charged sick leave.


9-J-2-d-(2) Reserves who attend training shall receive five (5) hours of pay per day.

Nope it is not add pay on reserve. It is time credit. That was made clear in the original CCS message and in class the question was asked. So you are getting rooked on reserve as usual.

Is it possible to do the class the same day you arrive from an all night flight?? I get in from São Paulo and would rather do it then vs commuting another day.

My take:

15 minutes of info crammed into 6 frickin hours.

Paid me 5 hrs for the hassle.

MGMT spending $17M on this program

Class info points:

1. Save fuel when u can. ACF 90 days. Try to policy plan and have
REMF 60-75 mins

2. Single eng taxi when u can

3. Wait to start APU until needed



No Sh!t. We have the brains to figure this out, just not the motivation from this Golden Shower mgmt team.

Total cost to employ program $17M

Total aggregate loss $2M

Spending 6 hours trapped in a room for 5 hours pay: Priceless

I think we have too much redundant and overlapping management.

We could probably lay off 30 director level positions and senior director level positions and save 12 million to 14 million a year. And, as a bonus we may get more clear and unambiguous policies. How about our 4th memo on non revving jump seat flight attendants? I am tired of confusing and contradictory memo's (pilot bulletins).

This management by memo is getting out of hand. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
