ALV. When you finish your checkride and are awaiting OE, you are free to bid "high credit" and get the upper limit of the LCW while you wait 6 months for OE on the ER. :beer:

but what do you get while going through training? thanks for the info

I believe you get the ALV for whatever seat you are in, pro-rated for any flying you have already done for the bid period. After your "conversion date" you get your new payrate and ALV for the aircraft you are training in. The conversion date may or not occur during training.

If I'm involuntarily displaced and have to retrain on another aircraft, what's the freeze?....2yrs???

No freeze for an MD.

Yep more positions that pilots, as suspected. I bet you see more of that in the future

It's got to be a good thing. Good for DAL!

The way i read it, we are overstaffed currently, but in summer we will temporarily be understaffed due to the large training volume, etc... If you look at the December number, 1800 pilots fat - correct me if I'm wrong.

Depends on which you see... required staffing and projected staffing are 2 different things on the 22WD reports....


The "required" (first chart) is simply a base formula. The airline could not function at that staffing level. The second chart is a realistic one.

I had the same "holy crap!" moment when I first saw them a few AE's ago before it was explained to me.

 

[twobits]

and who explained it to you? if it was a pilot or management, then i might be a little skeptical.... just sayin

 

[EMBpilot]

Guys - fight for overstaffing. Whenever the management says "we are staffed just right" - you are way understaffed!
87 hour lines and almost illegal reserves - been there..

Hello guys....

Quick question. To bid a percentage of the category for vd/md, etc...how is that accomplished? For example, if I want to bid the bus in dtw, but only if I am 30% from the bottom to get in lineholder area, how do I bid that? 70% or 30%? Thanks in advance.

Putting 70 on your bid means that you want to be in the top 70%. Answer: 70.

Not if Republic becomes your partner. He will start using Airbus and Ejets at lower labor rates....PRAY THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH DELTA or AIRTRAN because the downward spiral will continue and our professions will become attacked again..

Article on yahoo-->""The company must also choose which alliance partner it will keep. Midwest had a relationship with Delta through an investment made by Northwest and TPG partners. Frontier has a relationship with AirTran. “We are going to have to figure out who our dance partner is in 2010 and combine that option as well,” he said. For AirTran, the Frontier partnership is less strategic than it was at formation given its expansion plans which has made it a coast-to-coast carrier.""
