CAL QOL issues

[Boeingman]

Small narrowbody (73-5 73-7 73-3)

year 1 $29.97/hr -- 76 hour guarantee (reserve)

year 2 $54.14/hr

year 3 $64.45/hr

Large Narrowbody (757's) (738's) (739's)

year 1 $29.97/hr

year 2 $62.13/hr

year 3 $73.14/hr

Lineholders can now fly up to FAR's per month. Usually lines are built to the high 70's to low 80's (hour) per month. I left out the widebody since you probably can't hold it within 3 years.

To expand a little more on Boeingman's post.......

Reserves on the 737 and 757/767 get a "blended" pay rate based on the percentage of aircraft in the sub base that fall into each catagory.
Right now it is 50-50 Large Narrow Body to Narrow body on the 737 and 60-40 Large Narrow Body to Wide Body on the 75/76.

For example second year "blended" rate on the 737 is $58.14 and 75/76 is $65.94

Line holders on the "blended" equipment also get the blended rate for all soft time. (training, sick time, deadhead...etc)

I tried to cut and paste a domestic reserve line, but couldn't get it to copy.

They build them variable with groups of days off. Some will have a block of 5 days off with blocks of 2 and 3 days off togethor spread through the rest of the month. Some have 2 blocks of 4 days with 2 day groups spread for the reminder. Some have one 4 day block, one 3 day block and the balance of 2 day spread. In this mix are what is known as immovable days which they can't touch.

Minimum 12 days off. There is a new reserve system with the contract, but I have not read it. They are going to a long call and short call system. The long call I think will be 9 hours but can be changed with the needs of the company yad yada yada. As it is now, you have 2 hours to report 1 to make departure from initial call.

GUM is a different animal. I do not know what they are currently doing out there. I heard they are still building 12 day blocks off on lines.

CAL in NOT commuter friendly. Do not count on the ability to commute in on your first day of reserve to sit reserve. Under the new contract, a lineholder can still take a trip from a reserve up to 10 hours before push.

I can't get the contract to pull up so I can not give you an accuarate answer on training pay. I am late for an appointment and have to fly today. If I have time later, I'll research it. Off the top of my head I believe you are paid for training and given a hotel room.

Hope this helps.

How long will someone be on reserve if hiring continues?

 

[captbert]

Also, how long is the reserve period on a day of reserve? 12-15hrs?

LOL, Awesome!
