ASA to offer positions to 24 Expressjet guys

[JettBoii]

I thought 24 bypassed recall; 24 to be hired from XJT.

This coming from a single guy who will likely stay single for some time if his posts are any indication of his likely insecure personality..

Fit right in as a senior ASA CA!

Boy you have no clue what you talking about. You're an idiot. But I'm not going to argue with you in case you drag me down to your level and beat me with experience.

I'll say something on his behalf, when he was single, he was living it right. Even Jake would have been jealous of the wool being pulled Triple7's way!

Haha Ahh the single days. I do reminiscence about those days of getting lots and lots of strange.

Is it true that we get doc-ed 4 hours pay for calling in fatigued in response to an extension?

 

[BWatz]

If you fly 7 hours and then call in fatigued they will dock you minimum days pay. It's ridiculous.

Wow...a financial pressure tactic. Why is that not illegal? Is this without exception, or is this when they feel the fatigue call was unwarranted?

So, if you fly 3.75 of block and then call in fatigued for an extension (in addition to the 3.75 of block)...do you get ZERO? This is crazy.

 

[Abernathy]

You get docked MORE than min day pay. It's something like 3.95.

 

[Abernathy]

Also since we have about 20-25% reserve staffing, people may think that reserves will be away from home less. I don't think this will be the case. They probably held back a lot of trips for opentime, most of which will be flown by reserves since lines are blocked so high, no one can pick up squat.

If the reason for the fatigue was the company's fault, you are paid normally. In any case, fill out a fatigue form.

I'm not sure about the docking of pay.

If the reason is your own fault or not and you have flown or been available enough to credit 3.95 or whatever the dock is, fill out a RIF, a NASA, a fatigue form, a grievance form and an ASAP. And pen a certified letter to the FSDO documenting the use of financial blackmail by the company.

I thought that as well, but a certain chief pilot doesn't always agree. (No matter how stupid scheduling gets.)

Fill out the form, then file a grievance.

I'm writing it in crayon! I shall also illustrate with drawings.

 

[No Delay]

Yeah, and when you get done...stop by and fill out your unemployment paperwork.

I think it would be a suicide mission.

I don't want to get fired over 4 hours of pay. But it just seems wrong. Welcome to the regional airlines, right?

Then quit yer whining if you aren't willing to fight the fight.

 

[No Delay]

buscap, not saying I disagree with you. Prob does need to be done. BUT you had better be prepared for the consequences.

What did the FAA say when YOU talked to them?????


I do agree with you....I just haven't made a fatigue call. So much easier to call in sick!

 

[buscap]

Heck no, I haven't done it. It has not been necessary, but my intention is to do so if they come after my money. I don't mind carpet dances. I don't mind disciplinary letters. But they aren't gonna touch my money for flying I have already done.

 

[Abernathy]

But they aren't gonna touch my money for flying I have already done.

They have, and they will.

Fatigue policy needs change, as well as sick policy. Something that mirrors more what Skywest has. Which is ironic since they are the non-union carrier.
