We'll have to wait and see.

>>A new hire makes the same regardless of what airplane they fly. A "senior" F.O. makes approx. $4.00 more per hour on the 700 which translates into $300/month per FO on a 75 hour line. I am not saying they could not do it, but my OPINION is they will award the new slots based on senority.<<


You missed the point. A new hire makes 19.02 an hour. A senior F/O going to the 70, will make @ $38.00 an hour. That is why you will see newhires on the 70.

A new hire makes $19/hour. A current 3 year 200 FO makes $35. If the company places a new hire on the 200 and current FO's move to the 700 the net increase works out to be approx. $4.00 hour.


Either you pay someone $19/hour to fly the 200 or 700.

True, but you add another training cycle for the
200 F/O moving over to the 700. Not sure what
the cost is to the company, but it's there.

cost

One week of ground school and 4 sim sessions for differences training. Over the course of a year the higher paid FO will cost the company more than the first yr FO.

New hires will not go to 700. The fact that they have in the past is the sole reason we did not furlough when we retired the EMB-120's. If you disagree, then go sit down and talk to a few people in crew planning and they will spell it out for you. By having the newhires on the 700, the company was forced into the choice of an out of seniority furlough or a bunch of training cycles that would have taken months. If all of the new hires of a year ago went to the EMB, then we would be just finishing up the recalling of them. For this reason, the senior piece of equipment will be off limits to new hire assignments (we all know they don't bid). There will be nothing preventing a new hire from bidding the 700 once their seniority can hold it.

So whats the deal with the pool. I knew a guy that was an intern there last spring, got hired, and now supposedly is no longer in the pool. It looks like future interns might want to be careful.

? for ASA puppy . . .

So, given this information, would you assume that a new hire might go to the ATR???

 

[73belair]

A new hire could easily go to the ATR if there is a slot on the ATR thats open and no one bids for it.

 

[btflyer2]

I was trying to find out if a new hire might be assigned there due to vacancies??? Would the ATR be the most junior airplane in other words?

 

[maxcackel]

The word is new hires to the 50 in DFW except for a few to fill a couple spots on the ATR in ATL. Now that may change in the next five minutes but most likely not.

speaking of the ATR...

Whats the story with these planes? Are they hanging around or are they leaving? Whats the movement like in them? I seem to remember a few years back when they were hiring the higher time folks into that because the upgrade was faster, while the kids fresh out of school got locked into the right seat of a jet. Whats the story these days?

 

[Medeco]

A good majority of them are leased. The official management statement is they serve their purpose well and they would like to keep them or somethiing like them on the property.

The lease is up in 05, so who knows?

The future of the ATR is with Delta MEC and their scope. For ASA, they are a money maker. But they fly short legs and like to avoid ice. They have 66 seats and are exempt from Scope. If the greater than 50 seat scope stays put, I'd put money on a Q-400 as a replacement. If the scope goes out the window, my bet is on the new modified CRJ-900 (more performance than 700). Either way, there is a light shining at the other end of the tunnel.

 

[General Lee]

Right now I do not see DCI getting anything larger than 70 seaters---but they may get a few more than the allotted 57 CR7s. Anything larger than 70 seats will go to Mainline---but probably at reduced rates......

Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[79%N1]

I do not see Delta getting anything larger than 180 seats, at extra double secret reduced rates. I know this, you see, because I know all. I hear everything that goes on, from reliable sources you know. And, I am such a complete and utter loser that I have nothing to do but troll the regionals board even though I am a much holier and important mainline pilot, so I can shoot down all of you loser regional pilots theories, speculations and questions. You see, this way I can feel so good about myself and my superior knowledge and can condescend you all more with my superiority! I am the all knowing GOD of aviation! I am DALPA spokesperson, so I know ALL that DALPA will allow, and I can command this knowledge on all of you inferior regional losers! And if a comment on any item relating to Comair appears anywhere on the internet, a hugh "C" appears in the night sky, a signal from the commissioner indicating it is time for me to appear online, as ------ "THE GENERAL" ------ to shoot them down with my immence DALPA knowledge as well as my amazing intuition on the state of the airline industry. I have no company policies or proceedures to review to maintain my proffesionalism, no revisions to do......my mission in life is this, to mediate you loser regional pilots and expound you all with my superior knowledge and greatness!!

DALPA COMMANDS THEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefor, IT IS SO!!!

 

[FL000]

God forbid someone post an opinion. I personally think the General has been supportive of the the DCI regionals overall (especially ASA) and has acknowledged that DCI is helping to save DAL, Inc.'s hide right now. It's the RJDC that he (and most others) doesn't agree with.

There aren't a whole lot of DAL pilots that post here, so it's nice to get that perspective on a regular basis...even if one doesn't agree with the opinion.
