Crews flying high at CitationShares!

[Fozzy]

Now DB the truth is you are a guy I will never have the chance to have a beer with. You will be to worried about the possible 10 hour call out during rest.
Anyways, I have to get some sleep for recurrent tomorrow. You know class on my days ON. Oh wait, you don't know.

Hey XP,

This Fozzy guy is the perfect example of what I'm talking about.

Unbelievable.

 

[XPGuy]

You nailed it. I think I may just have to put fractrash on ignore. He really doesn't add to any discussion - he's like a kid tugging on your shirt while the adults talk trying to butt in on an adult conversation when he really has no idea what he's talking about.

Anyway, I think you hit it on the head. It is unfortunate that aviation is what it is today... and you are in a great position to ride the wave while it's cresting. May it last, brother. May it last.

A Few Observations

Fly Low, I read your post about your overtime policy at NJ. I rode a van to the airport with a NetJets crew and they told me that the overtime at NJ was limited to 3 days per quater, and of those 3 days, you'll only get paid for 2. Is this a different circumstance than what you're talking about? Is that only for voluntary overtime?

XP, I had breakfast with a FLOPS crew before the big balloon burst. They were waiting on pins and needles for the 31st to hear the "big announcement". I really feel bad for what mgmt. did to you guys and I hope you all the best, as I have friends that work at FLOPS. Get ready for a fight.

Fozzy, why such anger? Why such negativity?

DB, You have my vote for being the CitationShares ambassador. Keep up the good work!! you sure are a patient person.

So at the present time, what would you say is the typical upgrade time length at CS? Thanx

 

[FRACTRASH]

I also wish the folks at FLOPS the best.

 

[FRACTRASH]

Upgrade time is around 12-18 months at CS.

Hey Frac, I think I heard the new number at 2+ years.

 

[DBCOOPER]

I know one guy just upgraded who has been here 10 months, another that has been here 14. As previously said, the avg. is 12-18 months with company.

However, those hired this year are told to expect about a 2 year upgrade b/c of aircraft orders.

Maybe this is already posted, but I couldn't find it - are the complete CitationShares pay rates posted anywhere? If so, could someone post them here? I've seen bits and pieces, like 1st year FO, 5-year Captain, but not the whole shibang. We need some good comparisons at Flops.

Also, I heard everyone at Citation Shares is on a 7 and 7?

Overtime is different than extended days. Extended days are limited to 3 days per quarter but as for OT.. the sky is the limit based on the 3 criteria in my earlier post.

Ok, because they used the term "overtime". I figured there had to be a differance.

 

[DBCOOPER]

Rates are posted under "CS Raises Official Now....Jan 1rst" thread. They are correct.

Yes, everyone is 7/7 from day 1.

Nope. They are separate categories on the paycheck.

Extended Day.

Overtime.
