You can still unionize if you want. Reid is trying to make it impossible not to unionize. Face it, some employee groups do not want a union. If they don't, it should not be forced upon them.
Lee Moak is the ALPA national chairman. Never underestimate how much he will lean on MECs to accept scope concessions. He has never seen a scope concession he didn't like.
If the 5-8 year west pilot is a captain or a very senior FO and the 20+ year east pilot is a junior FO, then yes the west pilot should be, and is, senior to the east pilot.
Good job by the Southwest pilot. But don't assume for a second that Southwest has a monopoly on pilots who would do that. I have held flights many times to get someone on. All it takes is someone to give me the information so I know to hold it.
Then don't become an FFDO. I very much believe in the program. It has made all flight crew and passengers safer. The fact that there might be an armed pilot is a deterrent to hijacking. You should thank the guys at your airline who are FFDOs.
That's BS. I know of a female that was hired at UAL with just over 600 hours TT, about 50 of that ME. I still have the FAPA magazine that gave her statistics. I challenge you to show me anyone hired at Delta who is even close to that low in hours.
actually I think it means you will be finished with training by April. Conversion date is the date you are actually assigned to a category for bidding and pay purposes. I would guess you will be done with sims and OE in March.
I agree and disagree with this statement. I think the 787 is an excellent design. Where the program fell apart was in too much outsourcing, which was absolutely driven by the bean counters. Sounds good on paper. Had this airplane been built almost entirely in Seattle, I suspect it would be on...
All things being pretty equal, pay rates, benefits, work rules, retirement, etc, I think relative seniority is the way to go.
But you can't say the #1 guy at Virgin goes in equal to the #1 320 pilot at Delta. Nor can you say the #1 747 pilot at Kalitta goes in with the #1 747 pilot at UPS...
