Call me lazy, can you give a few details about the commuter clause? What does a typical reserve time look like right now?

 

[Meiguy]

The commuter clause is one that if followed takes most of the consiquences out of a mistrip because of commuting. It basically says that if you list yourself for two flights (on any airline) with adequate space available and adequate time for your show and you don't make it to work, than it takes most of the consiquences off of you. They don't really define what adequate is and weather has to be takin in to consideration. Don't expect simpathy if you missed your flight because it was cancelled due to a forecasted snowstorm at your destination. Also this clause can be taken away if too many mistrips happen because of commuting. Theres a couple more details on it but this is the general gist of it.

To answer your other question, reserve time has been around 6 months for the Newark based folks or at least for the few that I know. Not sure about Houston or Cleveland, However I do know that Cleveland would be the longest of the three. Reserve time will probably shorten with expansion, Cal recalls, and new hires in the 1st quarter of next year.

Does anybody really know which hubs most new hires are getting assigned?

 

[Nova]

EWR for now.

 

[8HourPilot]

How about training? Paid? I see per diem is ok, but is the rest of it paid? Something like the min monthly?

 

[SEFlyer]

Do a search. all the training basics for XJET have been covered on a previous thread.

 

[8HourPilot]

Call out time on reserve?

 

[Obi-Wan]

There are 2 hour, 12 hour, will fly or no fly reserve lines based on seniority.

 

[Nova]

I thought only the 12 hour call out was going to be limited to a certain percentage of total reserve lines with no limit on how many pilots select will fly or no preference?

 

[DDpaysoff]

However, I will still argue that we got more dollar for dollar. It is just that we are getting those dollars differently.

And that is all I have to say about that.

Is there anyway you can actually back up that statement with facts and figures, citing examples from each contract?

 

[Paul R. Smith]

Read the contract!
