Expressjet Hiring

[Whydoitry]

What are these red arrow days? Days you cannot trip trade? Days you get premium pay for pick ups? Days you can expect to be involuntarily reassigned? All of the above?

I wonder how junior Orlando would go? When will this base open? March/April? What ever happened to a MEM base?

This should mean upgrades on the XJT side.

ORD = Chicago O'Hare Int'l Airport (Orchard).

All of the new hires will be able to pick between Orlando, Atlanta, Houston, or the new Denver base.
Just expect Orlando to go very senior, as Houston is shrinking and Denver will only get about 24-36 slots.

I have no memos that talk about Orlando or Denver.

Last thing I got was some crap about flap heaters. Maybe I'm not in on the joke?

I don't know if XJT gets the same OurASA memos as ASA does but I know that XJT (side of the house etc etc) is analyzing the need for a Denver base since we will get stuck with a lot of Skywest Denver flying now that Skywest is meant to be doing IAH flying. At least we have pretty good moving benefits in our contract, I don't know if Skywest can say the same .... oh wait.

As regards Orlando, I have no idea what that's about.

Red Arrow Days are days on the schedule for the month that are "Low Coverage" of reserves. This translates to you being unable to trade your trip for anything because scheduling is too lazy to do the work to cover the trip you'd like to drop. This has been going on for the past year or so. Scheduling has been offering 200% pay to pick up any additional trips, however.

 

[MikeSF340]

ExpressJet was going to offer 200% for pickups, but our union talked them out of it. They insisted that 150% was enough......

 

[Uncle Bunkle]

Okay, how many new hires are planning to bid Orlando? I hear Denver will be very senior so forget that. That leaves, what, Chicago or ATL?
