ASA to offer positions to 24 Expressjet guys

[Salukipilot4590]

It seems like just yesterday people were complaining about flying too much, being exhausted, we need to hire etc etc but now the problem is we're not flying enough and the lines are blocked too low?

These are pilots we're talking about here.....surprised?

No the problem is the lines are blocked so low that the reserve coverage is too low. With no reserves to fly things that pop up then people get extended. Do you want to be extended on your last day 777?

For time and half heck yeah they can extend me. I'm on reserve so I'm used to getting extended for free.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.
