ASA Reserve Crisis???

Any idea when we might see this vacancy bid? There is a new-hire class starting on Monday. Maybe next week?

For captains?

What if they assign the entire newhire class to 700 FO and there is no 700 vacancy?

Who knows, but with the possibility of a CR7/9 base in DTW coming online I guess anything is possible.

This sounds like a common theme at all of the delta regionals. We are way short on Captains and fat on FO's at Comair but yet our ready reserves are getting tagged with covering Pinnacle flights out of DTW in the past few months. This has been going on alot lately.

So who is staffing who? They should just let us Comair pilots freelance for all the delta regionals to plug up all the holes. In about a year we will have 500+ pilots sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting on our 200's to be turned to beer cans.

That's what I'm hearing. They wanna wait till they get the DTW thing figured out since it's gonna be a 700 base. Be interesting to see how senior/junior a 700 dtw base would go....

Have you seen the extension tool yet? Silly. I guesss they know we are going to be really short staffed again this summer! Instead of hiring more people they make some ridiculous piece of software that will give us an idea of when we wre going to be extended; yea that makes it ok.

uh I be t-i-r-e-d, can fly no mo, so sorry

Don't worry guys! ALPA's all over it! They'd never stand for that kind of treatment!

I'm now leaning more towards it going senior. DTW would probably be an easier commute for many, especially the DFW peeps

I'm sure the IAD people will be watching as well. From what I hear, the United trips aren't very commuter friendly.

Good luck with that. Our xj commuters from DFW HATE it. It's always oversold and they are fighting with many mainline commuters too.. At least since we fly some of the flights we get priority + FA jumpseats. ASA will have it even worse.
