Chautauqua in SLC?

[KingAirer]

Yes, I'm confused by the elation of these E170 guys about a SLC base. Especially with the one Mexico route. You guys probably won't even overnight there... ASA doesn't to our cush destinations like Cabo and Providenciales.

I'm especially confused about the guys foaming to bid to the Delta side of the 170 operation. What's so great about it that the United side doesn't have? Are you just creaming to fly to ATL, dealing with 90 minute wheels up times each leg in after about 3 PM, not to mention all the "slow to 250 knots" and "expect holding at RMG"? Or maybe it's the eagerness to avail yourself to the comfort and plushness that is the Bada Bing lounge on D? Or, no, I get it, you want to write crap about ASA (mostly true) on the walls of the stalls in the C lounge bathroom like Comair guys do?

ASA guys are bidding out of SLC after the initial new base smell has worn off. Especially the FOs that were senior enough to hold captain when the base opened are now reconsidering and bidding back to ATL to hold CRJ captain. FO pay doesn't go far out there if you want to live somewhere nice like Park City. Seeing as how all E170 FOs right now are first-year (whereas until recently all FOs in SLC were 3rd year plus making twice what a newbie CHQ guy does), if you guys do get a base there, I'd recommend commuting to Montana. You can get a nice log cabin that would be easy on the wallet I bet.

You kinda just went with it there, didnt ya? Go with your feelings.

I take it you've not had the misfortune of flying for UEX.

You mean like....What happens at ORD and IAD??

 

[ASH]

Making twice what a CHQ F/O makes

Wow, 3rd year ASA F/O make $43 bucks an hour. I want in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EMB170Pilot]

I think we need to flush Shuttlecraft and get a new callsign.

I agree

 

[EMB170Pilot]

170 FO's... I think they get hard ons during the walkarounds!

BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

uh huh huh huh

 

[$$$4nothin]

Why delta side

ITS FOR THE CHEWY GRANOLA BARS. DUH! Way better than United snacks

 

[Tomct]

How about $h!tTaco! That's what everyone calls you guys anyway! Join the group laughing at you guys for creaming all over yourselves just to fly an airplane with engines under the wings for how much per hour? Give me a freaking break!

Ok Mr. Skywest. Explain this one...

SKW 3rd year CA 200 & 700 CRJ: $60/hr
CHQ 3rd year CA E170: $62/hr
MDA 3rd year CA E170: $63/hr
MESABA 3rd year CA RJ85: $63/hr
JetBlue 3rd year CA E190: $74/hr

So, whose the biggest HO on the block?

"WHOOP THAT TRICK"!!!!!

 

[generaltso]

In my opinion, a few bucks difference in pay means nothing. Work rules are where it's at. min guarantee, DH pay, cancellation pay, per diem, overtime rules, etc. That is where you make your bank.

CHQ has 75% DH pay. Cancellation policy sucks. Per diem is $1.50. Overtime rules suck.

Looks like Skywest is the biggest HO on the block

 

[soup can]

Looks like Skywest is the biggest HO on the block

I'm gonna have to retract the above statement.
Skywest is consistently getting slammed for flying 70 seaters at 50 seat pay. Now we have House X comparing their 50 seat pay to 70 seat plus pay scales. Which is it fool. Are we gonna say they have good 50 seat pay or lame 70 seat pay. Lets be consistent here and not pick and choose which suits your argument best.

 

[TraneOfThought]

Behave yourself and quit hating.

No more Shuttlecrap, Shuttlesh*t, just stop its corny

Instead of airline bashing we need to find ways to raise the bar again. Having your nose up at some folks cause your planes are shiny is not the move just remember just like myself you can always be replaced by some snot-nosed cfi eager enough to sell you short to fly a shiny new jet the CEO was gonna get with or without your unions' concession anyway.

dayum man I never saw so much back biting in my entire life. Folks who normally act like that would checked for acting like a B*tch but not in cyberspace since nobody would be crazy enough to act like this in real life .

ps the 170's are going over to SA ironically its CHQ pilots flying not until this "senority" issue gets solved.

(just had to get that off my chest)
