Don't blame me I'm only the messenger (didn't write this)...

"Chautauqua continues to hire!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Chautauqua is still hiring. While attending upgrade training, we had 2 large classes of new hires being trained. Our recruiter, Rosa Mosley, told me that we intend to have a class of 24 Feb 1st. We are scheduled to take (1) EMB-170 per week, for a long time. We are still running new hire classes for the EMB-145 as well. Most of your new hires are going into the EMB-170 though. I hope you don't mind!!


Chautauqua has treated me very well. As a FO, I held 18-22 days off per month. A choice of 10 different bases, and most important, upgrade, 18 months from the day I took my initial check ride. We are currently flying for 4 code shares and will announce a new one early 2005. Delta currently owns 17% of our company and according to our CEO has big plans for us in the future. If you are looking for a regional that is still growing like crazy with decent pay and current contract, take a look at CHQ.

I just walked in a resume for a friend of mine who had 1200 & 200 and he got the call last week.
I believe they are posting ATP (1500 & 300) min for insurance reasons to go into the 170.

I believe the walk in goes a long way!!"

YGTBSM... You ONLY work 8 days a month?!?

I find that hard to believe at a regional!

Sorry.
 
hey....ive gotten 19 before....and it happens here. for the people who have figrured ou the PBS, it aint too shabby! however i think the origional writer of that passage didnt have that many days off in the beginning....after a year youl regularly have 15+ or so off a month. its not too dificult to do that.

only way to get that 18 or more off is to fly almost 8 hours every day you go to work. so theres your tradeoff.

XJET SUCKS FLOPPY DONKEY D!CK!


-kind reminds me of the way back days of this site
 
Its true. Many people who are close to upgrade (having been on property 15+ months) have 19 days off, many with out and back trips only.
 
my friends daddy said chitaqua pilots are taking his job away and retirement
 
So new hires are going directly into the E170, while current employees are by passed, and stay in the E145? Are the current FO's just not bidding the E170? What's the deal?
 
What about the 145??

With lots of new FOs going to the 170, what does that mean for us new hires into the 145? Will we have longer upgrades and longer reserve times? Or are enough people upgrading and moving to 170 where it will still be quick for us?
 
There is no pay differential for FOs between the 145 and the 170, therefore no incentive to bid it. Yes, everybody knows that sucks, and its been discussed ad nausem on Flightinfo before. Plus there is a seatlock to contend with. If you will refer to www.flychautauqua.com, new-hires for the 170 must meet "new, higher" minimums which look suspiciously like ATP minimums. All 170 crews are currently based in IND. Also, pilots on the 170 only have United benefits. If you currently have DL and US bennies in additon to UA, why switch?

Current E-145 FOs are seat locked and can only change equipment when they are eligible to upgrade.

I also held an 18 day off line just 4 months after I finished IOE. It IS possible.
NO Junior manning here either.

And yeah, we are STEALING jobs, cause CHQ pilots do ALL the deciding on our routes, jets, codeshares, etc. Whatever man.

Contact CEO Bryan Bedford if you got a problem with CHQ.
 
TopGunMav, you're back! Haven't seen you in ages.

Okay folks, bitch all you want about whatever company you like. I spent 5 years at ALG, hating the contract carriers, as per the culture at any wholly-owned carrier demands (be it Airways, Delta, etc). Spent 2 months in the left seat of the Dash before Seigal made fools out of all of us. I recently initiated my own little J4J program and "made the jump" over to CHQ. Yes, I am making less money. But now, my schedule is far better. Preferential bidding gets me what I want. I am happy and optimistic now. I enjoy working for a employer that puts good news on the company website. I am enjoying the idea of jerking the gear for only 2 years (hopefully) instead of who knows how long if I had flowed to MDA. You have to do what works for you. And in my case, this works just fine. I have a few gripes sure, but it's a job, not a hobby. I'm just kicking myself for not doing it any sooner.

Having said that, jump my $hit if you like, but this works for me.

Movement will be faster on the 170 but they are still putting people on the 145. Also, remember Captain of the 145s are bidding the 170. That means more 145 upgrades which means less FO's, so there is movement in that respect.

As for upgrades I don't think it matters what plane you are placed on. You can upgrade when your seniority can hold it (most likely on the 145).
