Netjets schedule question

[doylehargraves]

Can a new hire hold a reserve line? I've been hearing it is senior. Also, is DAL still being hired into?

 

[Jetman800]

All new hires are on reserve.

 

[Diesel]

unless you bid a 7n7

Can't answer your question about DAL, but...

Can a new hire hold a reserve line? I've been hearing it is senior.

All new-hires start on reserve. If you want to stay on it, you have to bid for it, or you'll get put on a 7/7 schedule. It does sometimes go senior because of the extra money, but the word I got during indoc was that, so far, nobody had been bumped off of it who wanted to stay on it.

Per the contract (section 19.3g if you're reading along), "The Company shall make the Reserve Schedule available by bid to a maximum of 40% of the pilots, by position (PIC/SIC), in each aircraft fleet in each bid period. In all bid periods, the Company shall have the right to involuntarily assign a maximum of 10% of the pilots, by position (PIC/SIC), in each fleet to the Reserve Schedule."

So, if I read it correctly, more than 40% of the people senior to me, in the same equipment and seat position, would have to bid reserve to bump me off of it.

Whether or not you would be able to hold a reserve line would depend on what fleet you are in. In most fleets whoever wants a rsv line can hold them but there are exceptions, most notably the Encore where it goes senior.

I think the contract also says the amount of pilots on reserve can't change by more than 5% from quarter to quarter.

But newhires don't affect that 5%.

Also, is DAL still being hired into?

According to the seniority list for mid November, the last class had new-hires in all 5 domiciles.

 

[WrknStff]

Everyone in my class who wanted 7 and 7 got one, a couple wanted to stay reserve and they got that as well. Just a small sampling, but its what I've got.

 

[Guitar Guy]

I don't know if it's still the case, but for the current schedule quarter, reserve on the Encore in the SIC slot went SENIOR. That means that that there were more reserve bidders than slots so some pilots got moved to the 7-n-7 schedule. Apparently that's the first time that situation has occured under the current CBA.

Do you get an option of what equipment you want to fly if you get hired by NetJets? (I am sure this question has been asked a bunch of times but I am too lazy to do a search)

 

[Guitar Guy]

I know a few guys who've asked at the time of the telephone offer to get a different fleet and have been accomodated. Sometimes, though, holding out for a bigger plane means delaying one's start date and thus, seniority. For some people, that's a consideration and for others, it's not.

 

[CA1900]

I was offered the Encore, 400XP, and Excel when I got the job offer. The Excel had a later class date, but that actually worked out better making a graceful exit from my previous job. (Although I'd have taken it either way!)

 

[WrknStff]

What you are offered all depends on what classes have openings at the time they call you. It all seems very luck of the draw, but most people I've talked to have been given at least a couple options. I was offered my choice of three, the sovereign, the excel or the gulfstream 200. I do know a couple folks that were offered only one aircraft type and I think it would be silly to turn down the job for that. Get your foot in the door now I'd say.

 

[doylehargraves]

I have a type in one of the airplanes you guys fly, is it safe to say they'll put me in that aircraft or just where ever they need me?

 

[Guitar Guy]

Depends on what's available when they offer the job. One guy in my new-hire class who was typed in the CE-500 was initially offered the Ultra but asked if he could have a different plane in order to try something new. He ended up getting the 400XP.

Bet he wishes now that he kept his mouth shut !

LOL-Like the joke of the guy who tells his girlfriend that their sex life is a little boring and he asks to try something, anything different. She goes into the closet and walks out with a strap-on.
