RAH lowers mins and increases training pay

[FDAFCFI]

Just a head's up to all you folks here: New mins are 1000tt and 100me. Pay during training is now $400 a week. That beats what I'm getting now at $125 but that's life, when you sign a contract you hold yourself to it and you don't bitch. Hope to see quality pilots at our headquarters soon. I really am impressed by the pilots and captains I'm meeting and the HR department. They admit to growth and the problems associated with growth so I really appreciate the midwest values honesty I've seen so far. Nothing is rosy anywhere so pick your regional on advancement. The captains I've spoken to have been here a little more than 2 years and they wouldn't go anywhere else. Had lunch with a 170 captain who is now getting on at SWA. I'm fourth senior in my class and will not sit reserve. I will make captain in a little more than 1.4 years. Put that in your pipe and take a toke... Anything negative that follows this post is based on rumors and lies and envy/hatred in the industry. I speak only the truth. Ask away.

Finally... I get on the first page of one of these threads.

1.4 years? Honestly now.

Envy? Probably not. Hatred? Yeah, you'll probably get lots of that with this kind of crap. That's a pretty confident post from a brand new employee regarding 1.4 years. As the old saying goes, once you've heard about the fast upgrade, you missed it. I may be wrong, but I like most others am not a fortune teller. Now enjoy the show...

 

[FDAFCFI]

I'll be realistic then and say 2 but after what I saw as far as basing and growth, it looks real. Just being honest. Hate away.

OH YEAH, just figured out why XJT is so negative on RAH. Turns out the CAL jumpseat seniority goes like this: 1st CAL mainline, 2nd CHQ, 3rd XJT, 4th Continental Connection. No wonder there is friction. Not our fault, sounds like XJT's management negotiated poorly.

I want an ORD base so it looks like shuttle america is the only place that would work. Is there still a restriction on the Emb170 (23 years old, 500XC) as I'm 22 with only 400 XC. Whats the word?

 

[FDAFCFI]

yes for the 170 the mins are still rigid and will never change for insurance reasons. The 170 has a long upgrade time. We have captains in our CRJ class who loved the 170 but didn't want to be FOs any longer. They are all good guys and will make a good addition to the CRJ team. Make the mins and with the 175 coming online you should get one or the other. After you've been here two years you get out of seat lock and if I'm captain, I can go to the 170 or 175. Good luck.

 

[relief tube]

1.4 years? did you hit 4 instead of 5?

First of all, it's currently at at least 2 years. And you come off as pretty condescending and self-rightious. Haven't even set foot in the plane and you act like you own the place.

And anyone hoping for chicago..it's not happening right now. Block hours there have lowered now that no delta flying is out of there, and there's a long line of FO's trying to get in.

Sorry, just trying to spill the kool-aid so the new kids don't drink it.

ORD is senior for FOs - no movement there for a while!
1.4 yrs = untrue.

Mngt is blowing smoke up your wazzoo, as I've heard they are even telling newhires that there may be street capts here within 2 yrs - believe it when you see it!
Most of the stuff coming out of the CRJ prgm is funny sh!t - I can't believe they would tell you guys this stuff. As for the JS thing, I doubt it's true. Besides, XJT crews have been nothing but professional to our guys - a class act around IAH, maybe you should keep your posts to yourself for a while.

 

[JettBoii]

1.4 years? Yeah maybe but you don't/won't know sheeeeeooooooot! I wouldnt fly with ya. Just my opinion.

Confidence is great young grasshopper, just be careful.

The most junior FO in ORD is a March 06 hire. Something to keep in mind.

I find this site never changes. Still got some good guys and some bad guys. Go to travel and speak with JY. He'll tell you what the truth is. The hate comes from within. Sorry to bring it up. XJ has been good to us, true, but there are folks here that are negative negative negative. I like the Shuttle guys and the Republic guys...let's keep it that way. I don't drink KoolAid, I drink beer. Maybe that's the problem.

Mesaba has been good to us?

 

[FDAFCFI]

XJT as far as JSing. Not Mesaba. Late.

He knew what you meant, he was just pointing out an error. XJ is mesaba, and that's what you wrote earlier. Now shouldn't you be studying for a systems test or something?

You are a pilot recruiter for RAH, right? Go back to your little cube ground pounder.

 

[FDAFCFI]

Hmmm. Very very mature group. Now I know why I don't come here often. Enjoy the circle jerk.

If anything your post makes your look like a complete idiot. I am now dumber for having read it. For all of those who are considering going to RAH, don't because you'll have to fly with this clown.

I hope you're not coming to the 170. You are a dipsh|t and I don't want to have to spend 4 days with you.

 

[Boris Badenov]

Oh please. Allow us our illusions. We can be crusty four year FOs with no upgrade in sight and a chick-fil-a gut in four years. Right now the future is so bright we need to wear shades! And an Ipod. And some hair gel.

Don't forget the backpack, and the look of smug self satisfaction!

RAH is coming apart at the seems. It is only a matter of how long the codeshare partners will take the poor performance, and cancellations of flights for the lack of crews. They are about 6 months behind on hiring, and are trying very hard to play catchup right now (1000/100). They are hiring almost everyone they interview (they need to). They got too big, too fast. Adding codeshares, certificates, and airplanes... but not adding the framework required to run these things.

I honestly wonder how the codeshares put up with flights cancelling for lack of crews. Our reserve pilots are for open time, not covering sick calls or other needs. Lets see what happens with Delta... down aircraft with no spare to cover for it. Why? Our spares are used for starting up yet another code share.

The reason people are somewhat happy here is because of the growth.

Actually there have been several instances of negativity from XJT in IAH. But you in your triple-seventy wouldn't know jack ********************, bra.
