ATA - New Contract

[Frac Daddy]

How junior is the LAX and SFO bases? Thanks.

 

[ATA75Pilot]

SFO and LAX have started to go relatively senior. Lot's of pilots from the "Left Coast" that bid out there. But the bottom of those base seniority lists can go fairly junior.

Right now, I would say JFK has a good shot at becoming our most Junior (Undesireable) base.

Just an opinion though.

Here are the Per Diem Rates:


6. Hourly Rates:

Effective: Dom Intl Pacific Rim

DOS $1.90 $2.20 $2.60
01/01/04 $2.00 $2.40 $2.70
01/01/05 $2.10 $2.50 $2.80
01/01/06 $2.20 $2.60 $2.90

Per diem for turnaround Trips shall be paid at the following rates:

Less than 10 hour 10 hour or more Duty

Effective: Duty Period Period (all hours)

DOS $1.25 $1.50
01/01/04 $1.40 $1.65
01/01/05 $1.50 $1.75
01/01/06 $1.60 $1.85

The real question is are you going to hire anyone when the dust settles?

 

[MesaScott]

Does the TA say anything about new hires getting per diem while they are in training? I know that as of now, you don't get any until you are done with training.

 

[TriStar_drvr]

Per Diem during initial training? Looks like the answer is no. However, other language in the contract seems to indicate you may receive eight hours per day on days you are in training. I'm a pilot, nor a lawyer, thus I'm having some difficulty interpreting the language of the contract.

As for new hires after the dust settles? My guess would be yes.

Finally, it's hard to tell what will be the junior base. Since the L10 will pay more than the other aircraft if this passes (currently, it pays the same as the 757), some people may decide to go for the cash. Since JFK is an L10 only base, it may not be the most junior one.

Curious, whats upgrade time like there on the 73 and 75?

How vital is a LOR for ATA?

Does any ATA pilot need their car washed?

Darn-

You need a LOR just to get an application. I'm talking from experience. Thanks again Ed.

Is ATA sending anyone to the AIR career fair in ATL the weekend of July 13?

Any inside info on the high speed abort on 15R out of BWI last Friday night. L-1011, it blew several tires on the abort.

hiring plans

Any idea of how many pilots ATA plans to hire. With very few other companies hiring, what are the expansion plans and time before upgrade for newhires?

Thanks,
