15-03 Training?
 

Has anyone who got an award been given a training date yet?

Meh.. I have a bid from Vacancy 15-01, published effective date of 12/31/14, and don't have a training date yet. (Watching the activations to figure out when pay provisions kick in, however)

I was in that group and I have a December 16 class date.

What equipment?

Good point. I have a Captain bid on the 737. I am currently a 777 FO.

In the "For What It's Worth" department, scheduling said it would probably be some time before I went to class because they were under staffed on the 777. I have a PT scheduled next week and when I was in CCS to check on class times, I noticed that my 737 training had already been scheduled.

Training sooner rather than later is OK with me, but it cancelled a Christmas vacation. :mad:

I wasn't sure if they were able to cancel vacation for training anymore .. is it something you have to waive? I looked through the UPA but couldn't find anything about it.

Anyone know how moving bases works? I am on reserve in one base at the end of the month and got activated to my new base and will probably bid the first few days of that month so I will have a few days in a row over the activation date. How do they handle that?

Well, I didn't waive it, so I guess they can do it if they have to.

Frankly, I am ok with it since I have December 25, 26, and 27 off in the schedule as it is.

Training center is closed on Christmas day and Thanksgiving day.

15-03?? I have a bid from 14-10 and don't have class dates yet. As far as I'm concerned, right now I don't want class dates. I'm being paid the new equipment, who cares?

Very good to hear that! Did you have to remind the company when the pay protection provision kicked in?

As a matter of fact, how did you know? Yes. :eek:

Which has subsequently been dropped out of my training schedule. Kind of weird.

I was told by the scheduling people that all of the 737 training that was scheduled in December was cancelled. I didn't understand the reason why but the guy said that it was being rescheduled and I would still go to school in December. Said I should know Monday or Tuesday this next week.

Sounds like some more upgrades for the blue team.

Just got my training date from this bid. 15 March on the 76T. Anybody else?
