Nope. You've got to get yourself over here and you are responsible for housing during the interview. I *think* they've changed the process so it's just one day now, but in the past it was 2 days and often times had an off day (while they interviewed other people) in the middle.
I trade stuff around with open time all the time. It gets denied for staffing a lot, but the ability to do it is there. You just can't trade below 75 with open time.
Reserve is (mostly) very senior on the 717, so the bottom guys are getting lines most of the times. They tend to mixed PMs and AMs. Often times with only 1 day off between a block of two or three trips. PBS allows for some flexibility but it's hit or miss. I'm bidding about 10 from the bottom...
If the new 330s can reach FRA, there is a huge market from that part of Europe on to NZ and Australia. A two hop flight through Hawaii (with a few days or weeks on the ground) sounds a lot better than going through Dubai or LA.
That's fine. I very much can appreciate what a lot of you guys went through to get the airline to where it is today. The dedication and willingness to keep working through some really bad times that a lot of guys put in is not lost on me.
That said, my point stands that, from what I have seen...
Jim, I'm a new guy. Wasn't here for the last time around and am playing to catch up (when I can get guys to talk politics about anything other than then current MEC issues). Thanks for the history lesson about what came from where.
I agree that limiting code share to a WO only and adding a...
Our scope is laughable at best and really only protects HNL to the 4 big neighbor islands airports. The 29,000 block hour minimum provides for about 5 hours of flying per 717 (assuming the normal 16 aircraft schedule, way less if we fly all 18) per day. Currently they are doing considerably more...
I've NEVER had a problem listing at the gate with Hawaiian, with the exception of HNL, where you have to go to the Special Service counter to do it because the gates don't have CASS access. Never called a phone number before either.
Maybe I've just been lucky.
That's what I was told by somebody over there.
I also discovered that if you fail the Previsor (which there really is no way of knowing as they don't tell you) you can take it again after 1 year. If you update your application during that one year period you'll get another previsor to take...
Seconded.
Motion passes.
And here I was hoping that whenever I escaped regional hell and made it to the big show I wouldn't still be surrounded by idiots. Damn... all my dreams are getting shattered here.
Because the other MEC chairman discussed the possibilities of the Fee For Departure Program (which includes seniority portability) and a disgruntled group of guys started a FUD campaign that basically said FFD = Mesa pilots coming to PSA with their seniority, whether PSA got new jets or not. And...
Seeing as I'm not a ARW pilot but I've been reading the Wisskey magazines since they started coming out, I guess I can comment.
It's a top notch communication from a Union to a Pilot Group. Lots of well written (and some fluff) information.
The spring issue was the FIRST one that started...
Some CRJ have three 02 masks on both sides so the limiting factor is life vests.
We had a checkairman who's favorite question was how many people can you get on a 200 and a 700. The 200 is 59 (50 passenger + 5 infants + 2 pilots + 1 FA + 1 Jumpseater) and the 700 is 82 (70 passengers + 7...
Nice... so he's gone from saying ALPA is throwing away 44 million and they suck to wondering why they'd be the middle man to wondering if they will get investigated for insurance fraud.
Anybody want to start a pool as to what's next?
Or wait about three years until they complete the metro line.
But in the meantime, what Boilerup said works great. I think the bus is $12 but I may be confusing it with the MassPort buses out of BOS.
