Basically we have Captains being assigned and given 8 or even 7 days off and never getting them back. Reserve sucks.
As for senior guys holding out for the holiday's.. I'd buy that.. I almost considered the same thing. Although getting that sweet vacation bid would require me holding out to a Feb or March Vacancy.. Personally I doubt the music will still be playing then for upgrade.
You know I asked that question.. I have the seniority to pick and choose my class date.. The "higher ups" put it to me that I would have to NOT been awarded a CA position BEFORE Nov 20 (hence a Feb or Mar Vacancy). Otherwise I would have to bid as the status when I was awarded it (assuming one completes training). I agree getting into training for Dec is the way to go.. They left how many guys out 2 years ago? I thought the final tally was about 125-150 guys with most of December off.DoinTime said:side.
As long as you don't start training until after November 20th (vacation bid close) you still get to bid in your old status and domicile position.
I thought back in '01.. street captains did recieve some form of compensation. Back then the Street Captains went 12-14 weeks (or better) to the check ride.DoinTime said:street captains are not paid during training as the FO upgrade would be, and a street captain could be let go without recourse if their training wasn't going well.
