Well $10K isn't going to cut it in October if you want junior FOs to stay on property. June resignations will be telling.

They will definitely raise it if they have to. In fact, I am looking forward to it.

It's hard to speculate on what it will be like for junior (or senior) pilots until the transition to United is over. Reserve will be rough for the time being. If things move like they predict you probably won't be on reserve that long but who knows.

From September to February it will probably feel like everybody is on reserve. The super junior and super senior won't notice much, but the rest of us in the middle will go up and down in seniority power for base bidding during the transition. Plus reroutes, extensions, jr mans, and deadheads all to cover both operations.

Well, middle of the pack lineholders still have Time Away From Base protection, 4 day max trip length scheduled protection, lineholders can easily refuse a Junior Man or Extension on Day 4, so that's not Reserve by a long shot. Reserves have none of these contractual protections (they better be in the next contract, but I digress). Furthermore, when you refer to super junior folks, your talking about people who have been on property for 1.5 - 2 years.

The folks down at the operational level are great and I love coming to work, but lets not sugar coat things because we like AWA(c). It should be better.

Couple questions if you don't mind.

In an earlier post, someone mentioned losing 30+ a month. Is that an over statement or are you truly losing that many? If so, any ideas as to where they're going?

In regards to the new hiring bonus, any information yet on how long a new hire is supposed to be on property before it no longer has to be repaid?

Lastly, about this written test for the interview. I think I read somewhere that it's fill in the blank. Any truth to that, or is it multiple choice?

Thanks!

I'm flying with a CA in recruiting, he says about 18 leaving a month and 2 classes of about 14 a month.

Haven't heard about length of time on property re: repayment. Dont think there is anything in place yet. 2 year timeframe to get the full 57k though.

Test is multiple choice.
