when are they going to announce this round of screwing - I mean new compensation package?

 

[unclepetey]

They've been studying additional bases since 1995. We are up to 4, that's 1 base every 3 years. We'll catch up about the year 2300.

Nice.

It will be announced as soon as all the management people get back from vacation during our busiest time of the year. What a joke, taking vacation during Christmas week when there are 500+ hours per day. What leadership! Oh wait a minute, we have no leadership, only ACP's.

 

[CL300Pilot]

What about us pilots that got the holidays off? Are we in the same boat?

Just curious.

Uh well, when our daily activities on the line depend on the backbone and structure of people in the office, no we are not in the same boat. When you are not flying an airplane, someone else is. When the D.O. is on vacation, no one fills that position. When there are dispatchers and schedulers on vacation during peak time, there are not sufficient staffing to fill those spots; the people that ARE working have to work twice as hard to make up for it so, to answer your question, no we are not in the same boat.

OK. I just misread your message.

Does the D.O., dispatchers, and schedulers work 208 days a year or do they work more/less?

 

[DirtyBeech]

I don't know, but I don't think we've increased their staffing to keep up with our growing fleet and pilot group.

What difference does that make? I am sure they work more days, but they are also home everyday. Bottom line is no one is filling their shoes right now. It takes no less than 30 minutes to get a text response and good luck getting through on the phone. That is too long when turns are scheduled at 1 hour.

This is a huge problem right now. We keep growing but the office stays the same. There was a day around Christmas where we had almost 600 hours of flying and there was only one scheduler working. This is why we are being compared to the likes of Mesa.
