I know it sucks, spend 6+ hours in Class, in Briefs and SIMs for the next 2 days for 12 month. Get paid only 4/day for all that pain.

Reliability doesn't mean anything (you aren't though really). XJT was extremely reliable. You are a staffing company. If you can't staff, you lose planes.

Oh, and you're not getting a PHX base..
In case anyone was wondering why OO has the reputation it does in this industry, this dude sums it up pretty well. Classic regional mainline guy right here. Getting so defensive and worked up about the freaking regionals. What a joke.

I disagree that we're having difficulty staffing the aircraft that are here though, that premise doesn't really hold water when open time gets snapped up like a hungry turtle and we still only get 150%.
If we got new flying, they'd do what they needed to do to staff it. But trans states isn't gonna give us anything for free.
The State of the airline confirmed Compass is not filling classes.

People are picking up time at 150% because they don't understand that if they wait it'll go up to 200% etc. That's why it gets snapped up like a hungry turtle so to speak.

But since we are not filling classes I won't be surprised if it goes up to 200% even with people jumping on the first offer. Just imagine how these people would vote on a new contract, they'll take the first offer... not the most they can get.

Agree. I don't pick up sh*t.

Grain of salt warning: flying with an LCA. Said during a meeting they recently had, JS confirmed PHX.

PHX seems logical and would be good for a lot of the guys commuting now.

200% isn't happening. You think Payroll is a nightmare now? Imagine the mess it would be trying to come up with a way to code for 200%. Unfortunately if people don't pick up open time then people get junior manned. Wouldn't you rather have people voluntarily pick stuff up rather than get junior manned into your day off on go home day? I know I would..

Actually, voting on a contract is different. There, we all vote together. For picking up open time, you know that if you don't, somebody else will - unless we go into a job action which we have no reason to. And as others have said, the company will junior man before offering 200%. So I have a reasonable hope for a good vote at contract time.

Anyone know when contract time actually is?
