only in the bbj and GIV/GV aircraft

 

[NJA bound]

Hey folks. When you upgrade at NJA, is pay based on yrs of service, or years in program, a/c type? In other words if you were an f/o for 5 yrs, would you go back down to 1st yr capt pay?

Section 27, page 175

Years in service for all aircraft except the DA-2Easy, Savanah Gulfstreams, and the BBJ.

If anyone really, really feels a need to fly a BBJ or similar, I know that AirTran is hiring into the 700.

Apparently, nobody wants to fly it.

It's kind of silly actually. The pay for this position has been in the contract for the past year. If you don't want a position, don't bid for it!

I'll take it as a new hire!

I don't think that any sane pilot would leave NJA for Airtran, but FYI Airtran only hires regional airline pilots or military pilots, they don't consider part 135 or 91 flying, so that eliminates a lot of good pilots.

How about leaving NJA for skybus? CMH based start up airline...flying A319s.

Never happen, lot of us hired within the last couple of years (guessing at least 100 pilots) have bids in for that BBJ fo slot and WILL accept the award.
The problem right now is all of the pilots that never read the new contract pay scale bid the position and are turning it down, right now they're still at pilots with 6+ years with the company, in a couple of years they'll get to the 2 year pilots that will accept the award.
