That announcement was made on an odd numbered day , this is an even numbered day silly. Airways will not hold themselves to anything said ,written, or implied for any longer than necessary. They make their plan of attack when they feel the need to copy another airlines news announcements.

I don't remember that. I do think the actual number will be around 150 at least. This is all speculation, so no need to ask for your money back or nothin.
Their RSV rules suck and are worse than my regional, just like their JR MAN rules.
-11 days off (Company has already agreed to 12/13 in next contract)
-short call is 90 minutes and there is no requirement that you actually get there in 90 mins, just be that close when you take the call. That is only improvement.
-long call is 9 hours (Company has already agreed to 12 in next contract, like current West) Each and every sequence of RSV days, the company can AND WILL call you to tell you...surprise! Your dumb arse is now on short call! How you like them apples? You can't do anything about it. They can do it every day of the year. You will have lost out on a better schedule you could have secured in a HL, Short call line and still end up with Short call. You only get a pro-rated boost in pay guarantee (72 long-76 short). It's great!
The real peach
-Jr. Man- There is no additional pay! There is no limit to how many they can slam into your anus. I say again for the dumbstruck...There is no additional pay!!!
I have longed to become a major airline pilot, but alas, this has not yet taken place. Perhaps after a real contract instead of this bastardized 1998 CBA that was taken to the woodshed via concessionary LOA's, the number of which I have lost count. Each and every one of these were agreed to by the current pilots at US Airways East, by the way. It is a messy bed that they sleep in, indeed. These would include permitting 38 CRJ-900's to fly their routes, while providing no furlough protection. But hey, at least the wholly owned carriers have been kept down in their place!
See, LCC is unique and therefore cannot pay their employees an industry standard wage. They are also unique in that their management has required 60% increases in pay, whilst the pilots have enjoyed an increase of 0.4%. We are special like a short bus, alright.
Meanwhile, the operation leads in on time performance and many piles of dog vomit in pilot uniforms are working voluntarily over the MANDATORY PAY CAPS and taking home over 105 hours of pay in a month WHILE PILOTS ARE FURLOUGHED!

As much as it sucks it's still just a little better than spanking your monkey back home on unemployment right? I know I sound pretty negative about America's most dysfunctional airline (next to Mesa) but it did open some new doors for me...

Brother, I am ecstatic, and since you know me, I think you must know that! I am going to go to work happy and at least make enough to eat and make more homebrew. I am going to do the best job I can.
That doesn't mean that I am proud to be part of the bottom of an industry that has taken it in the shorts more than Ghey Aiken after he lost to Ruben Studdard.

Can I use my ipod, too??? Believe it or not there is a verbal agreement for a commuter clause and it has worked for me 3 or 4 times in the past few years since my recall. I used it the first week in November again. If you give yourself two opportunities (with open seats when you listed) to get to work and you call scheds after the first leaves without you and then the second leaves without you there is no "trouble". I have had this happen 2 or 3 times with no problems.
Also had one at my regional airline 12 years ago.

* little note on the short call requirement there. I believe it's only that you reside, I.E. crashpad or house is within 90 minutes normal driving time to the Employee parking lot. Ya gotta take alot of things into consideration during a normal day on Short call. On other side of town, need to eat, shower, pack, etc etc etc.....Don't even have to give sched a time when you'll show or a ETA. Just, let me get home and get my stuff I'll call ya when I'm there, or on the way or whatever.... Heck it can take 20 mins for the CLT bus to pick you up in the parking lot, then another 10 minutes to the terminal.
And for the commuting clause, not sure if one is actually implemented. I know ALPO gave some things up, in exchange for such a clause, which I don't think ever got implemented. Maybe it did, but ALPO had a way of doing that. Ohhh we won this, negotiated for this, then never get final language and it would drift into obscurity, meanwhile, MGMT was able to pick a few more sheckels out of one's pocket...
FYI Short call. and flew 30hrs last month, maybe 36 this month

The East doesn't have a commuter policy? That sucks. The West has one. Give yourself 2 mainline (or company regional if there are no mainlines) flights to get to work and you're good to go. If you get bumped off both, no worries. You aren't pay protected but it doesn't count against your attendance. I think ALP(A) got that for them. Yeah....they did. Hope USAPA doesn't give that away too.
Welcome back furloughed pilot!
