If I am looking at this correctly, XJET actually had fewer complaints per 1000 customers than VirginAmerica. The only other matrix we have ANY control over on their list is on time %, which admittedly needs improvement...bags and denied boarding are completely out of our control.
This is a great questions, and leads into a brief discussion on the award logic. Max Q is correct in one sense but
If you do it via the first method above, it will bid all trips with SUN, MON, AND WED starts all in the same preference! Always remember that trips within a single preference are...
Thats not entirely true....
You cannot just look at the bottom of the window...you have to look at what they need on average for each pilot to fly to cover there block hours. They lowered the window to 67 hrs, but the TLV is at 90 hrs. If everyone puts in 67 hrs, they will have to start...
I love how you rant in your posts about people "not educating themselves" on your system..."why don't you educate yourselves..."...etc. Then, when someone asks a question, you make them go dig for the answer! lol
To put it bluntly, I have read your posts before and knew your position...and...
More control...and how is that Nevets? Explain...
The unitended consiquences are seen in what we are dealing with. The company is avoiding naps because of there fiscal inefficiency, and this dominos into poor overall pairing construction which effects us all. Granted, this is an...
I think that what you are saying is correct...to a point. The stage lengths are too short to create what used to be..ie 19+ hr 3day trips or 24+ hr 4 days. Oh sure, there could be a few, but they can't consistently make them that way. We agree on that.
HOWEVER, they CAN do better than 18 hr...
These bad pairings are not a function of PBS...they are a function of bad pairings. In other words, PBS is NOT to blame. If they wanted to make bad schedules, they would have MORE control through line bidding than with PBS. That is the universal statement that applies here that we need to...
I am seeing the same thing and asking myself the same question..."am I missing something?" I just did a straight sort and found 11 pairing on the 200 that had 20 hrs or more.
I am typically very level headed about this sort of stuff, but I have to say that this is pretty bad! It is going...
Joe,
This type of "resolution" would be a death blow to the unity of our pilot group. Not only would the passing of such a proposition result in an instant recall of the MEC/LEC, it would draw a huge dividing line right through the ranks, with a probable majority against this type of thing...
Its not exactly that simple. You have to look at several things as it is not just a matter of how much cash is on hand. You have to look at all assets and liabilities (as someone else pointed out) as well as net income (or loss) generated by those assets. In the case of XJT, they have not...
The Min for Sept is 70 hrs of credit to complete a line per the PBS bid package. By taking a virtual credit of 28 hrs for vacation, that leaves you with 42 hrs to pickup. So, if you pickup two 4days that are 21 hrs each, for example (there are 278), or other combinations that add up to 42 hrs...
Just out of curiosity, do you work in crew planning...'cause, I'm just wondering how gaining the ability to individually choose your pairings and "self construct" your line gives the COMPANY more control building your line than what they currently have, and the only explaination that I can come...
If I could draw everyones attention to ASA's contract, SEC 1.E.2 which states "The respective pilot collective bargaining agreements will be merged into one (1) agreement as the result of negotiations among the pilot groups and the successor or Company. If a fully merged agreement is not reached...
I have to agree...it is quite comical! I'm not saying that I oppose a single list, nor am I saying that the contract will not lead to that conclusion, but to hear these guys on here speak so difinitively as if they are qualified and schooled in contract law is laughable.
There is no...
Does anyone here have an iPad...there is NO WAY that it would hold up to the beating it would take as an EFB. Way too fragile...thats why the currently approved EFB's are "currently approved"...because they are very resiliant. One day of use and that delicate screen would be shattered.
Question withdrawn due to the fact that I am a moron...and forgot that I asked the same question in another thread but never checked the answer...thanks for answering again though guys!...
Not to change the subject...but I have heard people say (I am not sure if it was NJ or another fractional) that on the live legs, only the captain flies the aircraft. Is this true? I know it is a petty question but given the experience level of many of the folks they are hiring now, this seems...
You are correct. When comparing our numbers, it is important to compare them to Delta and DCI within the ATL system. I cannot speak for our current numbers when compared to other DCI carriers in ATL, but I can speak for a comparison with Delta...and overall, we are very comperable. Our A14...
However, according to the memo that SH put out to us a few days back, our block hours over the summer on the 200 and 700 will be about the same as they were in Feb....yet we are getting more aircraft...doesn't make much sense...which is par for the course I guess.
