CHQ class rumors

It does not seem that we are understuffed on the FO side in any base.

UnderSTUFFED???

On the other hand I have seen a bunch of flights flown by 2 CAs. I am still waiting to see one flown by two FOs

That almost happened once. When I was brand new FO and on reserve, I got back from a trip pretty early, and was walking out to the employee bus when my phone rang. "This is so-and-so in scheduling. We NEED you to take a trip to XYZ, right now, because somebody didn't show up."

I turned around, went back thru security, down to my airplane, got on...
and that's when the guy in the right seat said "hey captain, we're pretty much all set to go." Of course, they had boarded already. We called scheduling, told them what had happened, then had the pleasure of explaining it to 50 really pissed off people when they couldn't find an actual CAPTAIN.

Did they ask if you were refusing the trip???

just looked at the list... none in Jan, 2 in Feb, none in March and April, and last one was in May for a total of 44 FOs still on the list.

Anyways if I look at the base lists to me is does not seem that we are understuffed on the FO side in any base. (At least on the 145. I don't watch the 170.) On the other hand I have seen a bunch of flights flown by 2 CAs. I am still waiting to see one flown by two FOs

That's because the min. has been up'ed to 82 hours!
