lines at PCL

[poor2thecore]

can anybody post what a typical 3-4 trip looks like at PCL for a DTW-based FO? just trying to get an idea. ya ya, i know it "sucks" but i'm just curious.

thanks guys/gals!

It seams like alot of the typical trips go something like this....

Start at around 8AM, fly all day then have a reduced rest overnight.
Get done the next day before six for comp rest, but blast off at 6am on day three for a 14 hour day....or

Get normal rest on night one, followed by a reduced rest overnight on the second night just so you can get your comp rest on your own time after getting released.

on a 4 day trip ... DTW 1600-2300, o/night, 1600-2200, o/night, 0530-1200, o/night, 0600-2000 at DTW [just too late to commute]
I have 3 of this type and a 2 day this month. 3rd month of line holding after 6 weeks of reserve.

[CoATP]

Fo's getting all three bases out of training.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

How long are people sitting reserve? Is it really that bad?

 

[Flyingdutchman]

I think you should be able to hold a line within 2 months....

I am so tired I don't remember the last 4 days.

PCL doesn't have lines and we don't have a DTW base either.

The word that new hires are getting what ever base they want. I talked to scheduling last week and they said 2-3 months on reserve

I might be alittle slow... But I think the original question was in reference to Pinnacle Airlines (9E) and not Pinnacle Air Services? (the charter outfit).

Yes. But PCL is my identifier. FLG is theirs.

 

[Workin'Stiff]

Sorry... My bad...

In the regional forum, I thought it was common knowledge that PCL, 9E, or FLG referred to Pinnacle Airlines.

 

[Downwind]

No problem here.

PCL is the ALPA designation for Pinnacle.
