Not to say I'd prefer C.S. but I've heard they tell their pilots they will match +1% pay at other fracts. Is that true?

Would you guys go from a regional to NJ?

What are the pilot's duties besides flying (Clean aircraft, catering, be a flight attendant, carry bags?)

Serious questions, have been hearing some good things abotu you guys and some people have been telling me to go there.

I'm trying to do it and I am at one of the better regionals and in sight of an upgrade. I have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for this TA and now I am kicking myself for not going earlier. I have several LORs and a management pilot walking my stuff in and I am still not sure I can get in before the TA is ratified. Under the new TA that sounds like the kind of job I could work at for a long time - but getting in before the TA (ie homebasing) is vital to me as I don't want to live in any of those assigned domicles. I can't tell you how good it would be to commute on company time and live where I want for a decent wage. Waiting eagerly for the call....

I'm at one of the better regionals too, but this sounds like a really good job.
Any reional pilots that went to NJ have any insight?

No one has to LIVE at any of the domiciles. Your free to live anywhere you want except you must get yourself there for the beginning of a tour and the company will pick you up and drop you off there. So commuting might be in your future like it has been for hundreds of us here for years and years. But if we continue to grow or the company can't get enough new hires, you'll be able to enjoy the HBA opportunities like those of us who fought for it for years.

C/S or NJ far exceeds QOL at any regional, IMO...having done both. As for HBogarts silly posts, I can assure you he's not the typical C/S pilot. In fact, I have to wonder if he even works there.

 

[Schrode]

I can't tell you how many ex-Regionals pilots I've flown with over the years - even before the TA, it was better at NJA!

I just don't get why you even have to have domiciles. You're going to airline to your aircraft anyway, isn't it about the same cost to airline you from XYZ airport as it is to airline you from CMH or GSO or wherever? Why are they so adament about having you live in one of those places?

The theory is that they might be able to route planes and crews through these five cities a little more easily. If they can pull that off, they feel that they could get more productivity out of pilots on the first and last days of a tour and hopefully cut down on airline costs, too.

NJA pilots based in CMH seem to start and/or end a trip without an airline much more frequently than crewmembers at other current gateways. But my guess would be that once the company packs a whole lot of pilots into the five new domiciles, the company is going to discover that they are still airlining a lot of people around. Put another way, there probably is a critical mass-type number for the company's plan and I think that they'll suprpass that level and end up once again with the very inefficencies they are hoping to avoid with their plan. But we shall have to wait and see.

I have the best crew meals money can buy.

Stickshaker - see Section 20.7 in the new TA. Looks like Chilean sea bass over steamed asparagus tips with Hollandaise sauce won't be an option if the TA is voted in. I just hope the lone vegetarian option won't be PB&J...
