Stop feeding the troll. This thread needs to get back on track.

Not sure if this has been asked before but has the implementation of 117 affected schedules? More specifically do you see a lot of wasted time in hotels like 20+ hours?

Peak13

+1 for that.

Yes. There are a lot of 30 hour overnights and extremely low credit trips. I'm a really junior line holder though and the trips I got in Jan aren't too bad. It didn't even affect my commutability that much. There are still plenty of good trips if you're senior enough to hold them.

I think it varies a lot by base. I was looking at open time in other domiciles and there's some seriously bad stuff posted. The trips in my base isn't horrible.

This is precisely what I'm talking about. Most of you aren't willing to even discuss these issues. It's ok. I'm done with the discussion if all of you are. Sorry for the interruption.

The lines haven't gotten that bad here. In fact I flew with a few fuse that had blocks of 40 in 7 days. The almost worked one week on one off, and. They were junior.



Nevets, you're not discussing anything. You are blaming Skywest for the failure of expressjet to get a descent contract.

Thanks for answering my questions guys.

My trips are all fairly low paying trips. 3 four days and a two day. only 72 hours credit. They had to give me a reserve day to make it up. Im pretty junior in Houston (81%) Not very commutable at all but I live in base so not an issue. No 30hour layovers so thats good.

Nevets

No, that's not what I'm blaming the Skywest pilots for. Like I said, you only get what you do because of what others get, not the other way around. Let me put it this way. Let's assume that SAPA was your NMB recognized union with all the rights and responsibilities of the RLA and your current work rules and pay rates, (including benefits), was your contract. It wouldn't have made any difference in our TA (because the TA is better) except for probably some sections of the scope section (in your favor) that directly affects Skywest pilots. But at least you would be participants in the regional industry rather than blind spectators. THATS what I'm accusing you of, being blind.

Anyone can feel free to PM me instead if they don't want to side track this thread anymore. Although I rather have the conversation in open where it's transparent and for anybody to see. Secrecy only helps management keep us in the dark.

Wait, sorry for the beginner question but the 20/20 you mentioned does that mean 20 e120 and 20 CRJ?

They told me I was in an e120 class and sent me e120 study materials for the January class, but in the interview they said if they need rj pilots they'll put me in a class for that, but they won't decide until the day of class. Anyone know how this works? It doesn't matter to me which one I get just curious.
