At least the captain shortage lends some validity to the 20 captain upgrade vacancy rumor floating around.

Management confirmed it to me when I asked last week. Not that you have any reason to believe me nor I them, but the numbers don’t lie.

At home or on duty, doesn't matter. Don't answer your phone. Unless you are on reserve you are only obligated to return their phone call within a certain period of time. Other than that you are never obligated to answer your phone, even on reserve, once you are given a flight assignment you are not required to answer your phone. They can threaten you all they want and tell you whatever they want. Read the contract and fly it.

It is typically better for the jr pilots to take the pay and not the day in lieu because they will jr man you on your day in lieu next month and you will never make up the lost time off. Take the pay and if you are not notified make sure you call and or email crew scheduling and ask for you qualifying event notification.

Looking at the crew availability report on the website, I think we're getting close to adequately staffed on the FO side. I think some RSV might not even get a call in the next couple of days.

On the CA side tho...

A pretty interesting announcement yesterday. 10 new upgrades from the realignment with more continuing every month going onward. Also with ORF closing, it seems they might open up a different outstation domicile at one of the maintenance bases, not sure how I feel about that.

If they are smart,they would open up a southern base somewhere to attract some southern guys,or make it appealing for some to consider.
No one wants to be based in mke or atw.

A mke or atw base would be fantastic here. It would be a giant magnet for all the senior guys.

Except the dozens of super senior people that live in ATW and the people that live north of ORD.

Very few fo resignations on the latest fast read. A handful? More captains resigned than were awarded upgrade. We're absurdly short captains. Hope they start running upgrade classes of 20.
