JWS717,

Congrats on the new job. Welcome aboard.

Would anyone care to comment on the particulars that Comair looks for on the app. to get a call? I see their published mins, but what are the competative times like lately. I figure the ATP should help, but no call yet. What do you Comair folks think the hiring forecast looks like for the rest of the year?


Thanks for the input in advance.

I second the request for current info on hiring, reserve times, QOL, rumors...etc
Thanks.

To respond to the original poster, the only way CMR would see a 190 on property, is of JB were to sell them a slot. The market on 170-190 series is locked up for quite a while. Rumor was FSI couldn't even begin building a much needed sim, 'cause Embraer simply was backed up. I think the orders already for the 170 are backed up to three years. That reasoning alone says that CMR will go for the -7700, oops I mean the -700

Congrats on the accptance letter. I'm sure they will get you into class asap.

There are major staffing problems right now. The last two months my lines have been "built" to 92+hours and block hours have not increased. I timed out 100 in 30 this month, and 30 in 7 last week, displaced 5 times with two taxis and a sick call for two legs. I'm getting a 116 hour check with 10 hours at premium. The coin will be nice, but summer heat and all this flying is wearing me down and qol suffers. I flew my 30th hour in five days out of CHS with 48 people and one pack, i'm sure I smelled lovely after that. Last rumor I heard was classes are being cancelled to bring sim instructor captains on line for august.

Also, Does anyone have ship numbers for the ASA airplanes? I have only seen/flown one, and since everytime I show up to work there are 7-10 planes in remote I don't call that growth at all. Did ASA get all 12 Indy planes yet?

Hey Jetflyer, check out my line for July.

The second ASA CRJ I think was ship #7515, but I might be off on that...just going from memory...and after working as much this past month as you did, my memory ain't what it used to be!


Last I checked, ASA had at least 2 of the "BR" birds flying (my buddy flew one of them). ASA has a list posted in their ops room in ATL of all 12 ship/registration #'s that they are expecting.

That's my typical luck.

Don't get me wrong, I love talking to scheduling every day as a 3+ year lineholder.

Fly safe.

Not a bad deal for ASA since they are getting 12 GECAS/former Blue Ridge CRJ's and losing only 10 CRJ's to Comair...

Good deal for Comair maybe NOT ASA! We should keep OUR 10 and get the 12...We didn't didn't take a pay freeze for growth..maybe hiring some Delta furlows & not shutting down during Christmas would have helped you for growth and you could have kept your pay...now we lose growth to you...great deal HUH?

 

[JI Gone OH]

..maybe hiring some Delta furlows

That's funny, I just did some training with someone who claimed to be a furloughed Delta Pilot; he must have been a liar. Jacka**

Don't worry. Gen Lee is going to personally see to it that you all get jobs at Delta.

You don't get it, do you. Haven't you realized that management plays these games all the time. They're just swapping aircraft around to meet the requirements of the LOA/contract. The only reason ASA is getting 12 airplanes is to replace the 10 that are going to CMR, with a net gain of 2. If CMR werent getting the 10, ASA would not be getting 12 aircraft. They'd only be getting the 2. So lighten up aleady.

What don't I get, why wouldn't we get the 12??? We also lost 7 ATR's, we're in the negative...Comair's in the positive. We didn't agree to pay freezes for growth and we won awards for more airplanes (along with Skywest and CHQ) not Comair. I'm relaxed Thanks!
