Anyone out there know about the benny's at CAL. I have heard no medical or 401K for the first 6 months?

As always Richard, Thanks for the breakdown. Makes it a little easier to keep the faith.

Unless you go to Guam, it all starts from the first day, but yes, six months is correct. Bummer.

How long are EWR 756 newhires looking at before they are lineholders? And whats the normal reserve schedule like? Relatively commutable?

Most pilots around 70% seat seniority are holding lines in EWR on the B756. Conversion Lines go lower. The most junior 756 FO at 70% is a Feb. '98 hire. This doesn't reflect the most recent bid or the bid due out this month. I think line holders will have a late '99 - '00 hire date on the current bid (just a guess). It's all subject to change with PBS. I can't comment on the commutability issue.

Thanks RF,

Do you know the age span of the last class and the most junior pilot's seniority number?

Do you think there will still be a class that will go all 757? I bet getting off reserve will take forever in that equipment.

thanks

The age span was from 28 - 46. The most junior pilot on property has a seniority number of 4517. I'm not sure about the B756 class.
