Its about time some of the ALG and PDT guys and gals share in all this RJ madness. Congradulations!!Heavy Set said:Wow, what a shock to go from an ageing Dash 8 into the latest-generation EMB-170. I happy for the ALG guys - and I know the junior ALG pilots will appreciate it too with the faster upgrades - right?
Question - who get seniority when bidding a MidAtlantic seat, PSA or Piedmont/ALG given that both are wholly-owned? How is that determined who goes first? Lastly, have any mainline furloughees who selected j4j at PSA subsequently transferred over to Midatlantic after training on the CRJ-200/700?
The Emb-170 looks like a sweet ride...
You know, its funny that I've been hearing this kind of statement for awhile now. It was pretty much O.K. for the APL pilots to come to PSA at the top of FO payscale making that "newhire" APL the highest paid FO in the company. It was also O.K. to make that "newhire" APL pilot a Capt. out of Seniority, but when something good actually happens in favor of an ALG, PDT, or PSA pilot, you people start looking for a way to change it.USAirways1149 said:Sounds like someone dropped the ball -- badly -- and unknowingly created a "b-scale" at MidAtlantic. For the first time in the history of ALPO it appears the b-scale favors the JUNIOR pilots where, in the case of MidAtlantic, they were permitted to bring their longevity and are, therefore, being paid more than their more senior (furloughed) counterparts.
Hopefully there will be negotiations to rectify this situation promptly. Since it is obviously unfair to give the CEL guys pay-cuts to start them over at year-one, perhaps the company will do the right thing and give the furloughed guys their longevity. There will still, more than likely, be CEL pilots making more, but at least it will level the playing field.
Or maybe management likes to create division in the ranks.
