AirNet Questions

[wings421]

Any AirNet guys able to help me on the following questions. I'm outbased and never go through CMH, live paycheck memo to paycheck memo, for what thats worth.

1 - Who got the JetRide bids last month? Were we able to use our guys, or did we have to go to the outside? Any high senority prop guys get the bids?

2 - I've just heard rumors, but any thruth to the change in 5th night pay? Whats up with the SIC program, are they starting it back up? Any guys gone through that yet?

3 - Floaters 8 on 6 off? Anyone know a timeframe on that happening?

4 - Any news with SWA hiring any jet captains? I know a lot have their resumes in (along with 10000 other people), has SWA even started interviewing yet?

Thanks!

1. I don't know who got the Jetride bids...however, i believe they are leaving the open ones open and not hiring off the street as of now. At least thats what i think...i know a lot of those bids were ones from the last time they had one.

2. 5th night pay...for now only rumors...but i bet it will change. SIC program, not yet. Word has it not till the end of the summer to early fall.

3. 8 on 6 off is a go as far as i know, however there is now talk of making the day before and the day after the hard 8 soft days...meaning, they can be used those days if needed, or they will now travel those days. So in reality that 8 on 6 off just became 10 on 4 off...pretty crappy if you ask anyone on line.

4. SWA should be taking a lot of our guys, especially the lear guys here in TX. I know there are more besides just the TX guys as well. I believe within the first 2-3 months of hiring, they will all be gone...which means they should be going shortly. Interviews started a few days ago.

You're welcome... Happy to help.
