Don't expect anything big. We'll be doing United flying mixed in with our American flying just like we did when we left United for Airways. I don't expect a ORD base until about November-December, and IAD until Feb of next year.

Boy, am I looking forward to the double deadheads from DCA-IAD to start and end my trips.

On another note, don't FA's have to wear a company (AA Or UA) specific uniform? How would they do a mixed trip if the pants/shirts are different? A scarf change is easy. Getting an FA to change full wardrobe at an airport during a turn will be amusing.

Default ZED

Does anyone have access to a list of your zed partners? I called a recruiter and she said she was unable to give that information out as I don't work there. I believe she's mistaken and it's not a secret right?

Not sure why you're surprised. You're not an employee so they have every right to withhold any info they want.

Why does the list matter? Will it make any difference on any potential decision to work there? I'm rather curious why you need to know this beforehand. I can honestly say this isn't something I've ever heard a pilot look at prior to employment.

I don't get your tone. Although I'm new to this world I didn't think ZED partnerships were on a need to know basis. Carry on brother we having nothing more to say to each other.

There's no tone so no need to come out with guns blazing, brother. You're asking for info that they either can't nor want to give out. You still didn't answer the question as to why you need to know this prior to employment. I'm genuinely curious as to why.

You should probably just take the train, if there is one from IAD into the city...

there is not one yet. you can however take a train, then a bus. it takes about 1 hr. I've heard they will get a "limo" for you instead of double dh. who know, but we shall see.

So I got hired on last week! So what I'm wondering is how long are the reserve times, and how often do they get called out? I'm basically trying to fly as much as possible after IOE. Since I'll be living in base will it be pretty easy for me to pick up a lot of extra trips?

If you want to fly a lot this is the place for it. Reserves are used every day with plenty of open time to pick up. How long youll sit reserve I dont know, depends how many come in the door behind you. We havent seen any movement in well over a year now.
