ASA ATR pilot jet class dates

[777forever]

Last I heard the first wave of ATR pilots should start class in August. Is this still planned or have class dates been cancelled?

 

[Abernathy]

From what I understand, the August classes were canceled. We'll see what they really do with the ATR in the coming months.

Sept 8th is now the first class date off the ATRocious!

60 days, 10hours & 15 minutes for me! I get to be a real pilot soon... W00t!


:beer:

So looks like no movement til Sept. Thanks for the info.

Flew into HHH last week and the Piedmont Station Employee said they heard that soon SkyWest was gonna bring EMB-120's to the Island. Anyone else heard that.

 

[coorsFlight]

I was one of the ones with the 9/22 class date for the 70. Cancelled due to the class date being moved.

Asked BM when we could expect a displacement bid.

Yes, we plan on putting out a displacement position notice sometime around mid August.

Classes will begin sometime starting in Sept thru Dec.

I don't want to go :bawling:

Thanks... imp:

Do you know where those ATR are going ?

 

[Abernathy]

FedEx from what I've heard on the line, so it must be true.

If the ATR didn't make a real pilot out of you, I'm pretty sure the jet won't...

 

[CFI2766]

Do you know where those ATR are going ?

One rumor I heard was an airline in South America.

I know one thing for sure, unless we pick up some more planes/flying come the fall, we are gonna have about 150-170 captians on reserve on the 200 once the ATR guys/gals come online. I guess they are gonna pay us to sit around and fly 12 hours a month.

Least I'll be able to sit at home on SCR instead of the crashpad....don't think I'll be flying at all.

Mesa Sucks!

For those of you on the left seat of the ATR...planning on moving to the 200 or 700?

Unfortunatetly, I think some of them will be moving to the right seat. Also, there will probably be some moving from the left to the right on the jet side of the house.

 

[Flybywire44]

With the CRJ instructors bidding regular lines, I think its safe to assume that training has finally slowed down and we won't be backed up in training.

Minimal time away from per diem... good.

Those classes were never scheduled to begin with, unless anyone saw there name on a class schedule. My guess is not, since they haven't posted any for months for ATR people.

Here's what I don't understand. Why are they refusing to send over people who got the award last year, but will schedule a class for someone on long term ALPA leave and a management pilot? The union guy is just going to suck up union dues for another few months anyway, so why send him to training?

Yeah, BM sent everyone e-mails with class numbers and dates, but I'm not sure how official that was. We didn't even get that much until it was pointed out that the contract requires the company to post class dates within 30 days of a final award. Anyway, I can confirm that the first class is pushed back to Sept 8. BM claims that official notification is pending.

You can always go to the DO and tell him you're a cool chick who won't be flyin a ghetto prop job.

This is true... Brian did send those emails awhile back.

BM confirmed the Sept 8th class today and said the Sept classes would become official next week.

The Union Guy? So, what does that make you?

 

[Cpt Oveur]

I'm not an elected or appointed member of the association. That makes me a member of the group that is paying him.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

ATR guys, don't forget to slow to 250 descending through 10K.

Don't ask me how I know. :blush:
