ASA July bidding

[ASA_Aviator]

Yeah, you're right. We should split hairs and argue over terminology instead of standing up to the attempt to erode our quality of life further.

But I suppose you think it's a good idea.

I don't really have an opinion either way. I think those on the 200 (majority) will want it because it will dilute the crap trips in the 200.

I am 100% for dual qual. As long as we get a blended rate that is higher than current 700/900 pay. No SKW block override silliness

I think they want dual qual because we keep getting more DTW flying on the 200

Don't act like I'm the idiot when you don't know the difference between a common type rating (common category) and different type ratings (dual qualification).

We've been calling it the wrong thing at ASA. I guess we can't fault you for your ignorance...

Not really true there. FAR 61.57 states the requirements. Category is airplane, airship LTA or rotorcraft. Class is airplane single engine/multi engine, etc, common type is self explanitory. If it were a common category, it would be an airplane. It's a common type. The 717 and MD series are all common types to the DC-9. Dual qual is simplified meeting the insurance mins on the appropriate type airframe.

Why not have two rates and get paid for which one you fly? Why should the 700 guys get a pay cut?

 

[701EV]

no dual qualification!!!

 

[Plainsman]

You guys need to learn to wipe before you start talking about dual qual. They gutted us with PBS, they will do it with dual qual. What, I bet some of you ninnies will take dual qual for an ipad that cost $400 that will be pay deducted. Come on.

If you have two rates then you have the block override system SKW has.700 guys won't get a paycut if the blended rate is higher than current 700 pay

I think most of us would be OK with that however that would defeat the purpose for the company and therefore would likely not happen that way.

If the company offered dual qual at 700/900 rates +5%, I'll support it.

Of course it is a common type. What I mean is that if we join all of the "categories" that we have at ASA (CRJ 200 vs CRJ 700/900) then our flying will be "common category" flying. The distinction that we draw at ASA will go away.

Jesus. This isn't that hard folks. My only point is that it isn't a dual qualification to fly the 200 and the 700/900.

A dual qualification would consist of being rated on the CRJ and the ERJ at the same time. Now that we have two "types" of aircraft at Atlantic Southeast, calling 200 and 700/900 flying dual qual is stupid and misleading.

When has this company ever used scheduling flexibility to make our lives better?

So why would anyone here favor giving them more flexibility?

 

[wms]

There won't be PBS in the jcba.

 

[Jags1]

Off topic a bit, but when did they take away reserves ability to view opentime?

With dual qual 50-seat CRJ pilots will make more than 50-seat ERJ pilots. I'd say odds are about 2600-1700 that ain't happening.

If it's true that the MEC brought forward the idea for line bidding TDY. They need to be recalled! This is the last straw of many!
P.s. Enjoy the unstacking next mounth!

It really does suck that the bottom 30% may have to fly weekends. That never happened with line bidding! We should go back to that.
