Miscellaneous

[LearLove]

Q19. Regarding the "training freeze" on new hires, as I understand it this means
​

that those of us who have not been with our current carrier for at least 12
​

months are ineligible for employment at MDA. Is this correct?
​

A19. While the restructuring agreement allows MDA to hold a pilot for a
​

period of time before releasing them to mainline, there is no
​

provision to hold PWO pilots going to MDA. These pilots may be
​

subject to their carrier’s hold provisions, if any apply.
​

Q20. Could you give us an estimated duration of training activities, from class
​

start to completion of IOE, what has been the norm?
​

A20. The training plan for the EMB consists of a 4-week ground school,
​

2 weeks of simulator, and approximately 1 weeks for IOE.
​

Seniority / Flow
​

Q21.​

Several questions have been asked regarding CEL seniority. Below
​

is a sample. The answer is intended to be responsive to duplicate
​

questions.
​

If I am awarded a F/O position (based upon preference listing of "all"),
​

what is my upgrade seniority at Mid Atlantic based upon? Date of hire at
​

ALG or award date at Mid Atlantic.
​

A21. The order of seniority on the MDA Pilot System Seniority List is as
​

follows:
​

1) US Airways pilots in order of US Airways pilot seniority.
​

2) Pilots from Participating Wholly Owned (PWO) Carriers in
​

order of their positions on the Wholly Owned Pilots Seniority
​

List (CEL).
​

3) New-hire pilots in order of their dates of hire as MDA pilots.
​

All pilots at Participating Wholly Owned carriers will be placed on
​

the Combined Eligibility List (CEL). This relative seniority will
​

remain intact no matter when a pilot on that list accepts a position
​

at MDA.
​

Q22. Several questions were asked regarding flow through. These questions
​

included both flows up to MDA and Mainline, as well as flow back down to
​

the PWOs. The following answer applies to all such questions.
​

A22. The restructuring agreement allows for flow through between the
​

PWOs, MDA, and Mainline to be finalized in a separate agreement.
​

PWO Pilot Questions
​

~5843436.doc Page 5 of 5 06/22/04 1:06 PM
​

The details of this agreement are currently being discussed
​

between the individual ALPA representatives and the company.
​

Q23. How will I know where I stand on the CEL? Will the CEL be published?
​

A23. Please contact your ALPA rep for a copy of the CEL.
​

Q24. If I leave a PWO for a FO position at MDA, will I have the option of
​

returning to my PWO if captain positions become available there?
​

A24. No.
​

Q25. If I take a FO position and a pilot junior to me selects captain only, will he
​

get the captain slot before I upgrade at MDA?
​

A25. No, awards will be based on CEL seniority.
​

Q26. Do I have to fill this form every time a class is offered or does the
​

company keep a record of my information until I get call from you?
​

A26. A preference form only​

needs to be filled out once. A pilot may
​

change his preference form until such time that the company has
​

made him an offer based upon his preference. However, any
​

change made after the cutoff for a specific class date will not be
​

effective until a subsequent class date is announced. Once a pilot
​

declines a MDA position for which he has stated a preference, he is
​

no longer eligible to flow to MDA.
​

Stats
​

Q27. What is the current # of pilots?
​

A27. 171 including classes up to June 21, 2004.
​

Q28. How many from the APL?
​

A28. All 171.
​

Q29. How many from the PWOs?
​

A29. Zero.
​

Q30. How many from off the street, as was rumored to take place?
​

A30. None.
​

Q31. What are the current pilot bases?
​

A31. PIT.
​

Q32. Where are future bases planned?
​

A32. This decision has not yet been made.
