CAL QOL issues

[Airmike767]

Lots, don't apply if you have problems with things that happened twenty years ago........you'll just make yourself and everyone else miserable.

According to the airlinepilotcentral.com website, you get 2.05 international perdeim. Can you claim this in Guam?

According to my calculations, a newhire in Guam on short reserve will make $40,560 the first year with the $1100/mo override that was mentioned.

Yes, GUM gets international perdiem. Also, new hires that go to GUM can get 2nd year pay in exchange for an 18 month base freeze. If you agree to stay out there for a year and a half you get the extra $29.20/hr (blended rate).

The latest projections for the system bid closing on 4/19 show IAH as the junior base.

Also, new hires that go to GUM can get 2nd year pay in exchange for an 18 month base freeze.

Is that instead of taking the $1100/mo over-ride?
If you take the base freeze, and the over-ride pay, that comes out to $63,360...not bad at all.

IAH the junior base? I got the impression from the other threads that IAH and CLE were relatively senior. Do you think a newhire could get Guam this year?

Yes, that's in addition to the cost of living over-ride. I don't know if new hires will go out there right away. The links above don't show unfilled vacancies. That will only be shown after the bid results are posted and also depends on what classes they chose to staff it with. Some new hire classes may not have that option and we only run two system bids a year with the occasional adjustment bid.

I don't know if you can access the links above but they show a snapshot of how things are falling out on the current system bid.

In case you can't access the links here's the lowest sen# for the junior positions as of a 4/11 run date. (of course, these will probably change a bit before the bid actually closes on the 19th but it was originally scheduled to close on the 10th so most guys have their final choices in)

GUM 737 FO-4248
EWR 737 FO-4297
CLE 737 FO-4311
EWR 756 FO-4318
IAH 737 FO-4323

The current staffing for May shows #4329 in GUM and #4328 in EWR.

How long does it take to hold ewr international?

 

[zonker]

If you're on the 756 or 777 it's all the same. There will probably be newhires in the 756 very shortly.

And get this...you don't get international override any longer. Flying to Orlando is the same as flying to Tokyo. Thanks CAL ALPA!

 

[Z_Pilot]

...you don't get international override any longer

Are you talking about per-deim?

 

[SuperFLUF]

Are you talking about per-deim?

No there was a $6/hr Int'l override for CA and $4 for FO's when flying international except for CA, MX & Central America. That's gone now. As it is at most other majors.

 

[Z_Pilot]

1 What is reserve like at CAL?

2 Min days off for a reserve pilot?

3 Reserves fly a bunch, or hardley ever?

4 How long on reserve typically?

1. All short call right now. Two hours to get the airport--period. Not good for a commuter.

2. 12 days per month

3. a bunch

4. less than 3 months to three years, depending on when you get hired. It was three months a few years ago, then a line, but after 9/11 it lasted three years.

Thanks for the reply.

Do any of you know if the old gouge/ sim profiles are going to be similar to this round of hiring?

737 COMBINATION COCKPIT COMPANION
Combination book for all models of 737 from -300 up to 900. (300-400-500-600-700-800-900 Systems) Burgandy colored cover.


Bill Bulfer is a CAL pilot who has been publishing a Jep size "study guide" for nearly 10 years. Most guys have one in training, many carry it in the plane. There are four versions and I believe this is the one you'd want since CAL flies 3/5/7/8/9 models. It is basically the CAL systems manual in bullet format. In the most straightforward terms it tells you what happens for every position of every switch in cockpit.

Does CAL mainline fly into Mexico?

Yes, although XJT does the majority of the Mexico flights.
