Continental hiring info

[calfo]

There will be an average of 12 a week into April and very possibly into May and June. They may only do 8 in one week due to some logistics problems but that will be made up with 16 the following week.

Maybe they'll get the DOHs right on this round.

Special MEC Update – Seniority Lists

As many of you have discovered by now, the latest seniority list published by Flight Ops has many errors. Apparently, there was another technical glitch in Flight Ops software that has caused former Continental Express pilots to be listed with the wrong hire dates. We have been advised that this will be corrected by this Friday. Please check the Flight Ops website then to verify that this situation has been corrected. In the event that this issue is still outstanding at that time, we will follow up with the Company. Until that time, thank you for your patience.

Below is an excerpt taken directly from the Flight Ops e-bulletin form on the situation:

“We have received reports that the recently published seniority lists contain a different date designated in the "Hiredate" field than that found on previously published lists.
It appears that relative seniority order of each individual is correct, it is just the date published as the "Hiredate" that is different.
Manpower planning is aware of the issue and is researching its cause, but it appears it is as simple as having the wrong field exported when the seniority list was created.
You can be assured that this is just a display issue only affecting the printed versions of the seniority list and has no effect on any individual's relative seniority.
We will republish the seniority lists once the issue is corrected.”

Sounds good if you want a nasty contract ahead!!

Oh yea, don't rule out all the crusty dudes staying and possible furlough......just my 2 cents.

Why will Continental have nasty contract ahead?

Why is there a possible furlough?

Are you a pilot there?

Funny, I was told 16 per week through end of May yesterday by Christi with an email to confirm. Did this change within the day?

 

[Furloughed80]

It has been changing a lot recently. I have heard 16 a week as well. That makes no sense though. Something has to be going on if they are going back up to 16 a week.

SCOPE!! CHQ and the 170's are ready to go!! No secret why CAL reduced 69 XJT RJ's and brought CHQ in to operate CRJ's and ERJ's at a higher rate...

Why is there a possible furlough?

Not hard, age 65. ALL CAL's hiring is driven on retirements, not really any growth. Most of the crusty dudes will stay.

Are you a pilot there?

No, have plenty of friends there, and they are very nervous!! I do know CAL very well though...

Ok fair enough, then why do you think there will be a possible furlough?

Are your nervous friends the ones that vote in crappy contracts because of fear?

Sorry but how can you not flame away at your comments!

Ballgag,

You clearly don't know what your talking about. We are growing at a rate of 1-3 airplanes a month this year. The 737-300's and 500's are supposed to start being phased out this summer but even if they are, the number of airplanes we are getting equate to growth.

I just finished up recurrent recently and heard that hiring will still continue. The first day I heard that hiring was going to slow to 24 a month, the next day I heard it was going to continue at a rate of 60 per month.

The higher powers are still trying to figure out how age 65 is going to affect hiring. There has been NO mention of furloughs at all and I really don't see it happening because of the age 65 change.

Are you by chance Pocono's alter ego?

Well seeing how your not on property how well can you know? I think hiring at 12 or 16 per week is better than the 8 originally thought out. I'm not nervous. What are they so nervous about. Still getting new planes this year.

If its PBS well that I can understand.

This could be ANY airline.

Where do we get such masters of the obvious?

CAL will be at the Air Inc Job Fair this month so why would they be there looking to hire pilots if they were getting ready to furlough?
