ASA, ATL Domicile Vacancies Expected Soon

[sunlitpath]

A few sources within the ASA administrative framework are indicating that vacancies and upgrades are highly likely in late spring, early summer. They seem to think that Vietnam openings will create the need for upgrades in ATL domicile. Also, the training department is expecting to increase its staffing in the coming months to accommodate these training needs. I hope they right.

Furlough recalls or just seat/aircraft swapping?

 

[Tarzan]

Sure would be nice to get our furloughs back and put the displaced gys back in the left seat. I ain't holding my breathe though.

Yeah I will believe it when I see it! Just like FC on the 700's!

I can see it, and I'll tell you why. It's the middle of winter and we're running out of pilots daily on both the 700 and the 200 (at least on the FO side). Just one sick call, diversion, IROP day, and/or fatigue call can result in a cancellation at this point.

I believe that's because of a bunch of people being in training right now.

Is ASA finally getting more 9s? What about the CRJ-700ngs? When?

 

[SLUF4]

a bunch of people weren't in training 2 months ago when it was happening.

Brings even more joy to my day

a bunch of people weren't in training 2 months ago when it was happening.

Are you talking about Nov/Dec timeframe? I can't speak for the 200, but on the 700 almost no one broke guarantee and most people that were CMF were flown right up to 75 hrs of credit and left alone for the rest of the month. In December I was short called on Christmas day for a 4 day only to be taken off so I don't go over 75hrs. Don't remember ever looking at the reserve list and seeing no one available.

Can't speak for Jan because I've been pulled off.

When the majority of lines are crediting over 90hrs credit, most reserves are well over guarantee, and line holder JMs become the norm, then I'll start to think we are short-staffed.

Having the least skilled crew scheduling department in the industry doesn't help
