[cougarblue]

[INIT REF]

The internet has spoken.

[pianoman]

It's true. VP of Flight Ops stated in his Friday update this was crew planning's forecast.

 

[DUBLINFLYER]

Now PCL can find a new home

 

[redflyer65]

Back in Herndon?

Champagne and Filet for all!

 

[jonjuan]

Don't forget the side of Bleu Cheese and extra mustachio wax.

 

[TMMT]

Scheduled retirements, expansion, invading Holland?

Sounds like good news.

 

[SIG600]

True statement. Hiring figures revised from 732 this year to 1040 per VP Flt Ops latest message.

No college degree, good luck.

Is United's training center big enough to get 1000 new highers through per year. Plus recurrents, plane swaps, upgrades, etc???

TK South.....not a chance

DEN TK......yes

 

[Flopgut]

DEN TK is also more enjoyable, for those who like museums.

Or those that like to actually finish on schedule.

 

[Flopgut]

You all make sure you have a current tetnus shot for DEN TK training. The sims up there are mighty old and a bit nasty.

Legacy airline pi$$ing contest aside, we are sending 737 overflows to rented sims in MIA as well. Not sure if we are still using DFW- I thought we were for a while.

 

[Rick James]

UA is also using the 757 sim (Pan Am) in LAS as well.

Don't go trying to squash our fun.

This is true.....some of the sims are old. None of them are operated by $cabs though.

Can't argue with that. Touch

 

[Skippy]

they may hire 1000+ but yet ill be getting displaced off the 737 in IAH--- makes great sense-- hiring 1000+ and all the retirements, and yet i may have to go to a lower paying fleet like the airbus to stay in houston-- yeah, things are great-- cmon over

Check your contract there skippy. Airbus pays the same.
320 = 737800/900
319 = 737 700

STOP with the facts, Skippy's on a roll.......

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Does the 73 fly more productive trips at UAL? It's a lot easier to pull 85 hours at DAL on the 73 vs the bus.

 

[barondriver]

Beam me up Scotty! I'm damn ready

He's talking about the blended pay rate for the fleet being lower on the Bus.

 

[Flopgut]

Blended [banding] = smart

 

[chppr5]

You should have voiced that concern to Barron, Cook and JP. Only one side wanted pay banding.

You mean the 320/319 paying different rates and the 737 having differen rates yet the 767 400 paying the same as a 747 or 777 doesn't make sense. Or better yet the 767 300 pays what.....35 dollars an hour than the 767 400.

Hmm I wonder why that is.....lol

 

[Flopgut]

Personally I like banding, but if it goes away later that's ok too. Important to consider the context of what was negotiated (what we have now). The sUAL 85 hires wanted the 744 in a single top category, and then wanted to leverage that into super seniority for themselves (boosting them above sCAL 83 hires). JP stopped that butt cold...

All good....... water under the bridge now. Next contract will be better now that there are no sides.
