Expressjet Hiring

[johnpeace]

My buddy in the ASA pool just got called and offered a Jan 3 ERJ class.

Brad's update today makes it sound like they think they've hired enough at ASA...somehow the red arrows on my SkedPlus didn't get the memo.

So still no relief after the new hires? Do you know how many people were picked up and how many it would take to alleviate the red arrows?

72 newhires after the furlough recalls.

I was in a class of 9 for CR7 differences in October. That was 9 CR7 FOs that got added.

It's not NEARLY enough...for the last 3 days there's been 0 reserves for CR7 FO. 3 guys in the bucket with 0 days of availaibility. Every day in December is a red arrow day.

How many pilots would it take? I dunno...at least 30.

Remember that a lot of the new hires are still making their way through training.

FOs will still be short for a while. Until upgrades are done, FO numbers really don't increase much.

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.
