This is straight from HR -C. Simpson.

The training contract must be a new thing I don't believe anyone currently on property had to sign one.

There is a 401K, however there is no company match.

Info on the pay is correct you don't get full guarantee until done with IOE or on property for 60 days whatever comes first.

Hotel and insurance info is accurate.

I think a one year upgrade is very optimistic for someone hired today.

The training contract started with the last interview on Dec 28th.

They better come up with something better or they aren't gonna find many willing to go there.

 

[GOULET!]

People whore themselves out for much less than this pay/benefits package. They will have plenty of willing people to work for them. Especially if there is even a glimmer of a one year upgrade.

WTF? I thought she belonged to us?

Anyway, just a note on upgrades, we already have 6 a/c of 10 frim orders, I think captains for the 10th aircraft have already been hired. The 10 options have yet to be exercised, and Holdings is dragging their feet on that for the moment.

Can always tell who the company man is.. He'll use the great management line "yeah but we have quick upgrades" Or he is a dumass in training, and was to happy to read the contract he just wants to fly.

Why would anybody sign a training contract in this environment when the regionals are hurting for pilots? How do these airlines find people willing to do this stuff? To quote Nancy Reagan: "Just say NO." It's bad enough that these carriers don't want to pay anything but why would a pilot "indenture" themselves to a carrier and give up their freedom to walk away to a better job with no strings attached? It's true, in the struggle to better our profession pilots really are their own worst enemies.

How about some other issues...

Is there cancellation pay or other duty rigs or pay protections?

What are the schedules like? Commutable, all CDOs, 5 day trips?

How much does parking or uniforms cost the employee?

Is the training contract pro-rated? I don't know what the current state of training contracts at the regionals is, because I haven't been there for awhile, but 15k sounds excessive for a turboprop.

Correction, 8 aircraft as of today.

No cancellation pay or duty rigs.

CDO's and 1-4 day trips. Not sure if they are commutable. No lines were bid for Jan all flying was assigned by crew sched.

How much does parking or uniforms cost the employee?

Employees pay for their own parking. Company pays the first $250 for the uniform. The rest is payroll deducted at $20 a paycheck.

Well, not exactly career employment, for now.

Don't forget...there's a 2/1 Duty Rig for CDO's. Not that its anything to brag about...I'm just saying...

You're right, on a CDO thats nothing to bra about.

Thats what we were told in a meeting. There is nothing in the pilot handbook covering this. More recently I've been told they switched it to 5hrs credit for each CDO. This is what is shown for credit on all the CDO pairings regardless of duty time.

Must be nice to be Lynx management and not have a pilot contract. You just change the rules around whenever you want!!
