Seniority Protection at On Demand? DC9?

[atpcliff]

Hi!

At NWA, for example, they have requirements to be a captain in a particular aircraft.

If you don't meet the requirements, and someone lower than you in seniority does meet the requirements, NWA will NOT give you the captain slot just because you are higher in seniority.

At TSA, for another example, my buddy was passed over for ERJ capt, and didn't upgrade until he met the TT requirements.

I have been passed over twice for -9 capt, because both times there was one guy below me who met the mins, and I didn't.

They guy they picked met all the requirements, and no one else did. You can argue that the requirements are crap, but that's another story.

Also, BC did NOT get fired. They used the new review procedures in place, which found that he is a good employee and an asset to the company. In the past, he easily could've been fired, because there was not a set procedure in place. If the right person didn't like you, you were gone. So, these new procedures are better for the employees.

I was at ALPA carrier. The pilot/mgmt relationship here at USA Jet is about 1000x better than my former ALPA carrier (and it WASN'T Mesa!).

After being at USA Jet, working with some uptight weasels from time to time, does suck. Seriously though, the QOL at NJA, has to be better than JUS

Depends upon how you look at QOL

If being home with our family s a major goal of QOL, then USA Jet may be better than NJ.

Up here at 025° after CRUXX upgrade is based on ability and performance, not seniority...non union.

Well, that's the official word at most non-union places. In reality the ability and performance they're referring to requires wearing kneepads...
