I don't think we suffer the indignity of airline travel when we start or end a tour by airlining. For instance, today I am airlining on day one. I have my reservation and a seat and I upgraded to business class on a 777. I also go thru the employee line at security. It sure is a lot better than flying standby or on the jump seat! I really do not consider that commuting although you do. The commuting part was my drive to the airport of my HBA all of 14 minutes away from my house. Airlining is part of the job and I am on duty, not commuting.

Not too familiar with how NJ pilot get to and from work but was wondering if you get to commute in on the day of your duty time or do you have to get in the night before for the next day show? Really my question is do you truly get 7 days off or are you commuting in on one of those 7 days.
 
You'll only be commuting on a day off if you don't live in your domicile, or if the company fails to get you home in time on your last day. In that case, CHA-CHING!! :D

Does Netjets pick up hotel bills in CMH for ground school/sim if you are domicled in CMH as a new hire?

From the 2005 CBA
20.1(a) Hotel Accommodations
A Crewmember whose residence is fifty (50) or more miles away from his assigned HBA/Domicile/Satellite airport who has been assigned any duty at a location other than the Crewmember’s residence, including but not limited to duty at the Crewmember’s HBA/Domicile/Satellite airport, shall be provided hotel accommodations as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. The Director of Operations or his designee may consider exceptions to the fifty (50) mile provision on a case-by-case basis. The Company is not required to provide
normal travel expenses when a Crewmember requests and is released to his residence during a tour. The Company retains sole discretion regarding the release of a Crewmember to his residence during a tour.

I believe that as long as your actual home is more than 50 miles away, then the company will pay for the hotel. Maybe someone else can confirm this.
 
Yup you got it correct - I am CMH based but I live more than 50 miles away so whenever I have spend the night in CMH they are required to book me a hotel room even though I am based there. I have yet to have a problem with it as they have some kind of notation next to my name in IJet and just book it without even asking if I want to go home (I dont).
 
I just got the Encore in Dallas starting Aug 21st. I was told this was the last opening for DAL this year. Maybe if you can accept another domicile and a last minute slot like this might open up for you.
 
When I went to interview (in May) I thought I was going to have to pick between CMH and LAX, but several slots opened up that were not "domicile specific." They had been reserved for people who were supposed to return from leaves of absence, but had to extend for various reasons. I lucked out because I was able to pick any of the domiciles. No guarantees, but something like that could happen at any time.

Also, there is now an LOA that allows pilots to change domiciles either by swapping with someone who is in the same seat and equipment or by bidding as slots become available. Maybe not a great arrangement, but at least you're not locked into your original domicile forever.
 
And with DAL opening up all those folks hired post ratification who wanted DAL but wasn't allowed to have it had better be ready to file that grievance as soon as the first person junior to you is hired into the DAL Domicile.

Contact your P2P or a Steward ASAP for info.
 
I put the APP back in January. As someone correctly pointed out, it seems they seem to follow an order reference domiciles.

I must confess this invitation came out way out of left field. I had figured thet with all the folks on the streets they had more than enough quality candidates. Not that I am not flattered by the email. Needless to say the logbook is being dust off and the suit check to se if it still fits. After almost three years in regionals I have gained the provervial FO ten pounds.
 
Dallas

All u guys that think you are coming to Dallas when hired better stop and think about it. Our contract requires pilots already on board, to get first shot at the opening..no matter what HR sez........ If the pilots dont get the slot and a noobie fills it, there will be great penalties to pay. and the company will have to keep paying them every day the already on board pilot doesnt get that base. I cant believe the company would be that stupid!!

On the other hand, maybe they need a bunch of slots in DAL filled and there will be enough for everyone. As it has been explained in the past, the company will offer you the base at the end of the interview no matter what they have previously said, to get you to come to the interview.

You can always transfer to the base of your choice in the future as openings happen.
 
And at the end of the interview if the company does not offer me Dallas as a domicile then I will politely decline the offer and thank them for their time.
 
They will tell you what domicles they are interviewing for long before you ever make it to the interview. If you dont know where they are interviewing for then you probably shouldnt even be at the interview. Just a thought...

This is why I keep advising those that can commute in the meantime to take the job and then bid for DAL (or the preferred domicile) from within the ranks. You may get your choice sooner and your number will be higher--an important consideration in other areas.

Absolutely, if your rights are violated by not having the chance to bid for an opening in another domicile, then by all means, file a grievance. I fully expect that 1108 will monitor the situation to make sure the company honors their end of the LOA.

Good luck to all of you interviewing...or waiting.

I second that. Some of you took the chance at getting a change in domicile and some of us decided to wait. Only time will tell if it paid to wait. Best of luck to all.
 
I'm with you two. It'll be thanks, but no thanks, if I'm lucky enough to get offered anything other than DAL.

I'm shooting for an interview on either the 19-20 or 20-21. When are you guys going? PM me and maybe we can share some notes and thoughts.
 
theskyking.....!!! you are aiming or you have an interview for 19-20 or 20-21????..... if you have an interview for what base, I've been waiting for DAl for the last 5 months..... but nothing there..
 
I sent my resume in early Jan, got the packet the next week and the wait e-mail on feb 12. I told them I wanted DAL and have had to wait until now to get the invite. Keep waiting guys. I will post an update after my interview and share what they say about DAL.
 
Same basic timeline for me. I got the wait email on Feb. 3rd.

Just got the confirmation email from Derinda for an interview on the 19 and 20. DAL is my only domicile option on my application.

Time to go get the suit tailored and polish up the shoes.

Hello Ladies and Gents,

I've sent the resume few days ago and received the automated courtesy reply from recruitment, Just wondering how long is it going to take from now on to get further communications from NJA, what kind of airplane assignment shoul I expect with Citation and Falcon 20 experience and how many sommersalt should i do in order to get DAL base?

Looking forward to it.

Thanks

Ok, is there any other type that isn't open? say the Gulfstream 200? or the Citation X?

It all depends what they need on a given day. There are new hires in the straight Falcon 2000 all the way down to the Ultra.

No they do not. There are no SICs in the 2000EX.

I believe there were 2 SIC awards a month or two ago for the 2000EX. I also believe both had seniority in the 1800s.
 
June 21st award, #1787 and 1834 (that's 10/04 hire date). Pays the same as the GIV, so it'll be about the same seniority.
