PDT Class?

[WSurf]

Reason for so many CQ people is because the company did a CQ Re-alignment! I think the FAA allows this after so many years, and they wanted to do it with the ALG intergration.
As for Q400's.... Heard that if US Airways wanted some, 2.5 years to get them on the property! Guess we missed that boat again also.
I just hope there is some growth in the future. Even if its some more 300's, 2's or 1's!! Anything!

Sorry, but could somebody tip me on what CQ is?

CQ = Continuing Qualification. That's what airlines with an Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) call their recurrent.

Enough acronyms yet?

The contract allows the company to involuntarily realign a pilots' base month once during the duration of the current agreement. I don't think the FAA could care less if base months are realigned more than once as long as done properly, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. That's what that letter from the training dept was all about a while back. That way as few people as possible got realigned involuntarily.

If December has been loaded up with CQ's it may have to do with the probability of less new hire training during that month freeing more time for CQ's.

Surf, I've been out sick with the cold from he!! for a several days, so Happy Thanksgiving since I'm haven't seen anyone lately.

jezz..guys. not a huge deal, just a couple of us got pushed up to Dec from Jan.

 

[WSurf]

I dont think we made a huge deal of it! We were discussing a subject YOU brought up.... Ever think its you that made a huge deal for bringing it up?
If you don't want people talk about a subject you bring up???? well then don't post about it.
Jeeeezzzz!

Opec... Hope you feel better bro!! Enjoy turkey day!!!

with so many people getting CQ in december whats going on? Are we looking at some upgrades or alot more newhirers. Guess it also could be transition training into the Q-400 or into the E-190's. HAHAHAHA

Dang right!

It just irks me somewhat that a blamefaiter FO is trolling for replies from both sides of the gimme-gimme equation. Sickening, actually. Whatcha think a MDA pilot thinks of some puke salivating over the rumor mill while sitting in a seat here?

Did you miss the hahahaha at the end? What's wrong with a little joking around instead of the neverending complaints. And you know what the MDA pilots are thinking? I bet it goes something like this, "I really wish I hadn't CHOSEN to leave. I really wish our contract language was written better." MDA was a crappy deal for everyone involved, but it was a choice. Happy Thanksgiving.

Did you miss the hahahaha at the end? Happy Thanksgiving.

Nope, didn't miss the HAHAHAHA regarding the purple-haze pipe dream regarding 400s and 190s. What I also didn't miss is the spirit of Mav's post ooh-ahhing over possible growth here... after he trolled for info about his options at another carrier's possible growth which just happens to be Shautublic. Ironic? Kinda sickening.

If you want to go elsewhere, roll on down the road. Free up the seat for someone who (gasp) would like to work here.

Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be in Virginia.

...and I realised why I get ruffled over this. I assume I know who the poster is; I (took me a while, I'm dumb) now think I was wrong.

I thought the poster was a certain douche that has the rep here of being a tremendously self-serving goon that, you know, writes up captains and "reports" people to mgt.

If you've been here at least two years, you'll know who I mean. Anyone who patently hates where they work as much as he does- so much, he created a very hostile environment of his own to deal with- yet masquerades as a hopeful for a better future here REALLY po's the guys who want to be here. On purpose. Ya get me?
