ACA Pay scale?

[ryjacks]

CeeVeeGee isn't that bad. Cost of living is right and there are chicks with all teeth included.

The flying is, well, does he like 7 legs a day??? It is not like BOS flying (from what I hear) or the Mothership flying.

All in all, great group of people (crews). He will enjoy it.

Oh yes, a favorite out here in Cincitucky:
BLRXXXX, cleared to land 18 Right, caution wake turbulence 5 miles behind an RJ

OR even better
Following an ATR

I hear the wake behind the RJ is horrible!!!

Does ACA pay the greater of schedule or actual block times (which I hope is the case) or is it segment times?

When your line is published, is the pay 100% guaranteed, or can it be reduced by maintenance cancellations, wx, what have you....

It's 100% guaranteed and is the greater of scheduled or actual.

O.K. I can't let a sly little remark about the FRJ having "way better avionics" and "way more acceleration" go unanswered. Please tell us what huge advantage the FRJ has in avionics. And isn't it true that the FRJ (at ACA) still has no flex takeoff program, and only seems to accelerate better due to the use of max thrust? The CRJ meanwhile is dutifully conserving revenue by using flex takeoff power most of the time. And wouldn't you say that the top end speed difference is quite substaintial? I know I would. By the way, I'm seriously messing around here, so don't take offense. Oh, and I'll have to concede the climb to the FRJ.
But the CRJ is much nicer looking, I'm sure you'll agree.

Skank,
I've only flown the Dornier (and jumpseated in the CRJ) but many of our Dornier Captains were CRJ F.O.s and I am passing on what they said as well. The FRJ has a Honeywell Primus 2000 with full VNAV capability - I believe the CRJ is a generation behind with only the banana bar to show you where your climb or descent will arrive. There are some aspects where the CRJ avionics might be better but on the whole, I will take the Honeywell (my opinion only).
Please correct me if I am wrong (wouldn't be the first time but climb rate, like acceleration, is a function of power to weight. The Dornier has that in abundance. It is true that we don't use flex takeoffs (and part of that reason they just went over in re-current and I already can't remember it...) but suffice it to say that the Mothership can't keep up even if it had JATO rockets attached. The top end speed differential is substantial (the CRJ is somewhere around .85 - somebody help me out) while the Dornier tops out at .66 - due not to the straight wing but due to a double whammy of structural integrity in the tail and a mach tuck problem up around .76.
And as a Marine, I honestly prefer the mean, distinctive look of the FRJ (all it needs are bomb racks and a shark's teeth paint scheme) to the generic look of the CRJ (once again, my opinion only) And yeah, I am stuck in Columbia due to weather and have nothing else to do either

We typically cruise in the CRJ at .74 to .78, but can do .81 to .82 when trying to make up time...yeah, yeah I know the "book" top end is .85, but I'm talking 'bout what we REALLY do...(and like the .82 really makes us arrive sooner on the typical regional length route...we just get all goofy feeling seeing the ".82"!)

You're right...the FRJ would look "pissa" with a big gnarly snarl painted on the front...

Actually, the ACA Private Shuttle paint scheme is not bad at all on the FRJ....

Cheers!

PS - I made it to IAD, but if you think you're gonna get your car out of emplyee parking...HA!

Yeah, like the warthog face that the USAF paints on the A-10's!!!


I like the DoJet.
