ATR displacement...

[CFI2766]

Yes, but doesn't the actual # include those on LOA for one reason or another? Take them out and it was <100 fat that we had on the displacement bid that came out prior to today, haven't had time to count them up for today's letter.

GW, scotch and a cigar soon, I hope... gotta talk about this caca you talked me into

Good point on the LOAs; I hadn't considered that. However, do the numbers on the bid reflect those LOAs, or, are those numbers representative of those who expect a paycheck during the month?


Whacha doin on Saturday? At this point, I think I owe you... Oh well, it's always the darkest just before the dawn, right?

(I personally don't feel that we are in imminent danger of a furlough, but anything is possible next spring...)

I can't see them putting CP's in the right seat so I would expect you could bid what you can hold and those that are bumped end up FO on the -200.

It's their cheapest way to keep pilots if they're not using the "F" word.

You haven't been he long have you?

It can and probably will.

 

[Texx]

That's what I meant, if I wasn't clear. Only recent captain upgrades on any aircraft should be at risk for displacement back to FO. Senior ATR captains should hold whichever RJ they prefer to go to.

No. If there are only x number of 200 cpt postions and 20 ATR cpts are senior to the 20 most jr 200 cpts the company MAY displace them, the junior 20, back to the right seat if they cannot hold 700 cpt.

On reserve, I'm already at 85 credit and 68 block for the month so I'll be on down the bucket... not that that means anything. Give me a holla, I've got a car and can head up your way.

From what I saw of some of the senior ATR guys over the years, the company would be better off putting those guys in the right seat and paying CN bypass pay to everyone else! ;-)

There's a coupla guys that won't do well with the automation.

However, there's only one seniorish guy that I know of that will have problems with the transition, and he prolly shouldn't be flying anyways.

Speaking like someone who sounds like they are current ATR and not Jet. Watching some of these lifer ATR guys come over is scary!

[coorsFlight]

Do you mean that they cancelled 08-14 and reissued 08-15?

 

[rightseatjocky]

According to some of the training department also, Delta doesn't want us to get rid of them. I hope this is true.

 

[coorsFlight]

Well Delta owns 4 of them and leases the other ten.

The leases are up and supposedly the owned ones are spoken for already...

I'm going to miss em!

 

[filejw]

Foolish to get rid of them with the price of fuel. Can't believe there isn't a very good place for them on the new DAL/NWA network.

 

[shelton]

I'm ready to see them go. Flew them for too long. Too hot in the summer and the mx cost combined with the on time delays/cx more than eat up the savings in fuel.
