A few of my friends were E120 FO's as new hires. They had a bid in for the jet and the slot was given to a new hire. They were paid Jet pay after the first guy passed his ride.

I don't think it will be an issue anyway........ A new hire on the 700 has to go through 50 seat school, pass the check ride, go through IOE then back to training for the 700. I don't think they will have much problem with letting the current 50 seat guys/gals take the one week transition. Seems like it would be easier for all involved.

If they do want to pass me over and pay me for the 700, I am cool with that too!!

How long ago was this? this only happened when the EMB guys were being displaced.

B190- Congrats on the interview. A lot has changed in the process so I can't answer those questions.
Pay is pretty good (except 1st year) and I have to say that our 401k through JP Morgan (American Century Mutual Funds) is pretty good. The match is .50 on the dollar up to 6% of pay.
We have, hands down, awesome travel benefits. Of course it is standby but domestic travel is unlimited (and once in Europe that is considered domestic!)
Given the state of the industry I think ASA is one of the better Airlines to work for. Of course, everyone's situation is different so depending on family, your budget, only you can make the call. I am coming up on 4 years and have zero regrets. I hope to see you on line. All the best-

You only get $0.50 on the dollar in your 401k if you're with the company more than 5 years.

I got by- pass pay when I was in the right seat of the EMB along with quite a few others. When a new hire took my spot on the jet, I was contacted by a letter from the company stating that when the new hire that was assigned my spot passed his check ride and was line qualified, I would get 50 seat jet pay. As far as I know, those of us who put in a bypass pay query, got the bypass pay off of new hires. Sure enough, about two months later got a note that showed a pay increase to 50 seat jet f.o. Held that pay until I upgraded on the EMB in DFW. If you want to know what sucked, it was losing Captain pay on the emb the day you showed up for jet class, out of seniority, mind you. Sad, but true.
