On the projected training window what does --- mean?
I'm assuming it means that you could possibly train any month prior to the projected conversion date. It looks like most people will be in their older seats until late fall, guess they are still doing alot of catch up from the January AE.

Not picking on you Justdoinmyjob, just my two cents here. If we are worried about some ground personnel becoming desensitized to a flashing beacon, we should be more worried about a Captain who is going to be pressed to releasing the brakes (before it is safe to do so) once that door closes.
Can we just have a stupid switch that says "IN / OUT" on it?
I want to be paid 30 minutes prior to schedule pushback and up to 10 minutes after arrival !!! I hate the fact that I'm up front pre-flighting the jet, doing walk arounds, and I'm not on the clock. Then, sometimes sitting there for hours on the jet, without food, without a break, with the doors closed, jetway pulled, beacon OFF ... because that's what in the FOM and our contract. DALPA ... YOUR POLICIES SUCK. DO YOU READ ME???? I'm not trying to be greedy, just pay me for when I'm performing duties related to flying. If perhaps I make a mistake during the pre-flight, and ends up in a jet being damaged or someone being hurt, can I claim that I'm not liable because I wasn't "working"? that my work didn't start until the beacon was on? I don't think so.

Write your reps.
The counter is that do you think you should be paid 8 hrs prior to report since the FOM and FAR's state you cannot drink? The same logic follows. You can get your profession destroyed and you would be liable.
I do not disagree with you. I beleive that We need to move away from a/c or flight block time equating to actual pay. Write it in to your survey.

If you are reinstated, check the reinstatement list. If there is no training and you have not trained on your displaced seat, it means you dodged a bullet.

A "trip" is a pre determined numerical number that is used as a multiplier with your currently hourly rate. Portions of an hour are added for every six minutes over the scheduled block.
That is how a WN pilot explained to to me many moons ago.

That means that said person is either in the current jet and requires NO training for the award, or they were reinstated and no training and or conversion will take place.

I guess it is all subject to change, but I still can believe how junior MSP7ER and NYC73N went.

It goes away when a junior pilot is "Converted" to a category senior to you.
Well it did, and it is why everyone tells everyone to bid what they want and want what they bid.

Looks like I'll be doing a reverse commute for a couple of months from MSP to ATL. I have to get the kids settled to start school Sep. 1st in MSP. We were hoping to be converted in August, but it is December for me with no training required. Is there a chance that they could move it up a couple of months? Who do I call?
