training to the end of sim training including the final checkride, the very last day of training before IOE we do not do, therefore the IOE 120 day deadline dosent take into effect. once we get called back, they do the last day of training then we go on IOE as if nothing happened.
Could someone please elaborate on this. By "the very last day of training" do you mean the emergency procs. and preflight ?? Also how much time can pass between the sim checkride and IOE before training must take place again..

To All Chautauqua Pilots:
I would like to thank each and every one of you that voted on our strike authorization. The resolve and unity in our pilot group has reached the level where it belongs. To think that just six months ago, when we were forming our strike preparation committee, this company said we were not organized enough to pass a strike vote. It is a shame that it takes something negative like this to bring up the morale of our employees. I would think that a contract resolution and a better working relationship between labor and management would serve even better for morale.
I will say this again, we are not respected by this company. A company that respects their employees would let them be more involved in management issues and decision making that directly affects them. The company would also let its labor group police itself instead of being policed, intimidated and threatened with job security. Leadership comes from leading by example and positive reinforcement. When was the last time you saw someone from upper management come down to the flight line, shake hands and tell our folks what a good job they’re doing? I never have. This kind of support comes from our flight crews, unsolicited I might add. This is what makes us who we are as a pilot group. How many of you remember the pamphlet that was sent out awhile ago, “The Unobstructed View,” with the company’s vision statement. A lot of companies put out a vision statement. I believe companies like Jet Blue and Southwest truly believe in their mission statements and give their employees the latitude to achieve the company’s goals. I believe everything that is said in The Unobstructed View; however, I believe it is one-sided. If you did not get a copy of this pamphlet, please request one from the company.
The backing we have from the USAirways MEC continues, and is now verified in print. I would like to say thank you to them for supporting this pilot group. The more we support one another as pilot groups, the less management will take advantage of labor industry wide – be it major to regional, regional to major or regional to regional. We are all in this together.
I would also like to respond to Mr. Bedford’s July 10, 2003 update. Do not let this company convince you that because of this pilot group we lost the UAL deal. Until the EXCO reads a letter from United that our strike vote was the only factor that lost this deal, I would not believe what is being said by this company. If the company continued to over hire pilots for reasons they will not disclose, it is not labor’s fault, it is management’s. How is this EXCO to help prevent putting people on the street if it’s not kept in the loop? Over hiring for potential flying is a risk, management’s risk. If these furloughed pilots were slated to go to UAL flying or to Republic Airlines start-up while trained with Chautauqua’s resources, we will not know. Their decision, and once again, we will carry on and pick up the pieces.
I would like to say that this pilot group is a class act. With our recent problems, we somehow keep it together and do our jobs with remarkable professionalism. Please continue to show up for work like always, and do what is expected of you with the utmost in safety.
In unity, fly safe,
Captain Anthony Felice
EXCO Chairman

Skull One and Brother Francis
Thank you for always posting what is going on at CHQ. I am new to your brotherhood at CHQ and came very close to being furloughed but did get displaced which makes me very fortunate. Lucky for me this is not my first airline and I do understand the importance of what is going on. I think that sometimes the guys that have been here for a while underestemate the amount of understanding the pilots at the bottom of the list have about the current situation at CHQ. Most of the pilots that are currently at the bottom have flown for other airlines and have been through either furloughs of contract negotiations. We can see through the B.S. of this management and will stand strong with the pilot group of this airline no matter what happens. I believe in this pilot group and since I have been here I am daily reminded of what a quality group it is and it is by far the best and most united I have ever worked with. CHQ can be a good if not a great company, but we have to stand up to management
Brother Francis...sorry I am using you avitar, but it make a greats statement.

Latest rumors....
1) Company is telling us to "expect less than Mesa pay rates." I guess they can expect us to shut the airline down, then.
2) Republic is not going to fly for USAirways. Instead, it is going to do a codeshare with American(! ! ! ! ! ). OY! To think I figured this was a J4J-only deal, too. As Ricky Van Shelton sang, "Could it be.....somebody.......LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIED."

So the off-line JS policy at Republic will be a perfect reflection of the overall quality of the pilots there- totally crap! I wouldn't want to ride with them anyway!
Way to fight for what's right, CHQ. With the exception of the 80 something pilots who founded Freedom, I believe everyone else is behind you guys.
-Boo!
