Mookie said:How many planes do you'se guys have at Comair? Just wondering what the staffing per plane is. we're running at about 4.3 per plane and no one can get any time off right now. do you guys have a minimum reserve component that is in your contract? lastly, how do you all like the preferential bidding system?
If you do the math with both equipment types there is about 11.5 pilots per a/c. However, this includes managment, people on leave etc. As far as active pilots planning said 10.5 pilots. But, they said this over two years ago when the airline was very different. I would imagine with all the off-base flying those numbers may have increased. If you are talking about drops or sitting reserve at home and not getting called, fughget about it. As far as PBS, well if there were hard lines, junior line holders would have to bid for about 400-500 lines. The system was designed for something like 2,000-3,000 block hours not 30,000. Like everything it could be better, could be worse. If Delta gives Comair a long term commitment somewhere and another base opened up bidding would improve. This last bid for 30 new-hires would take care of the last three a/c that are scheduled for delivery. If there is another bid of signifigant size, then that would be spooling up for something.
