isn't it going to be hard to squeeze all those pilots into just 5 bases?

That would be good news if that were to happen. The contract allows them to open other Domiciles.
The more choices there are, the better it is for the pilots and their families.

Saying that for now they are planning on sticking with the five domiciles. Not even sure when asked if you can switch between the five at a later date. No has yet tried this, but Derinda suggested applying for a 'home-base shuffle' when a bid comes out and see how the company and union want to hash that out. This from the pre-interview tour on the 14th

 

[netjetwife]

Right. The contract says that if they open a new domiclie the domicile pilots can't be forced to move there, but I didn't see anything addressing (at least in the Domicile Section) the issue of volunteering to move to a new domicile, or requesting to move to one of the other 5 after you have been hired. I guess the BBWG will be ironing out those details. In the meantime, I'd advise anyone interviewing to ask lots of questions on the subject. If any promises are made, get it in writing.

As of the Feb 14th seniority list, we have hired 71 in January and 23 so far in Feburary.

Hasn't the domicile issue been beat to death on the board? From what I understand, they are letting newhires pick the the domicile. Plus you can live where ever you want, just show up to work on time the first day of your tour. This was one thing, among others, that turned NJA into an option for us. If I get picked up by NJA, I'll still have to commute, but it will be w/i state, well TX is as big as some contries, and a commute that I will have more control over. Granted HBA would be better, but this seems like the next best thing.

VVJM265 - the one domicile issue still outstanding for some people is moving between domiciles. It's not addressed in the contract as far as I can tell and I've not heard anything about it from the union or the company.

By the way, if you are hoping to come to NJA, best wishes to you.

It has been my experience that will NOT happen. The interviewee's will ultimately get (should they be hired) what's in the CBA, since they decided to become union members. The "company" is not in a position to deviated from the CBA and will not "put things in writing".

That's just how it works now.

Corpus. Realize DAL is a long drive but after looking at all factors I could certainly make that, or a ticket on SWA, work 2 - 3 times a month for a few years until we are ready to move further north.

As long as I can select DAL from the beggining, it a non issue for us, since we are planning on staying in TX. But that's just our situation, everyone has their own factors.

By the way, if you are hoping to come to NJA, best wishes to you.

Thanks. Resumes are in with NJA and NJI. NJA recieved it last Tuesday, so I'm waiting on the application.

Don't want to open the can of worms that is on the other thread. Both companies are good solutions for me, type of flying, equipment, etc. I'd be happy at either and keeping the fingers crossed, 'cause frankly, not a whole lot else looks as appealing from my perspective.

Speaking of flying, it's a beautiful day down here in S. TX. On the sched for an out-in, single student for ILS intro, think we'll have a late lunch down by the border. Life is good!

I'm out....

Thanks gunfyter. Sidebar - that's actually the way we used to do it. In the multiengine world we've gone to the AF block type syllabus & grading, but the 2 hops yesterday were the first ones for the stud to ever do ILS approaches in the aircraft.

Talked to a training guy last week and he said 400-450 will be about right. I don't think we could train any more than that anyway. Not to say we wont hire more, but that is all that can fit in the pipeline now.
