Any FAR violation stops an LOE ride, not saying this happened but that's what the friendly FAA guy told me when he "observed" one of my LOE's.
Having a FAA person in your jumpseat is going to be part of the job.

Whatever happened to the Skywest Flight Attendant class action lawsuit?

Well there we have it, the final and definitive answer. All airline training programs are great, nobody has anything to worry about.

This is pointless. CBA's can structure pay differently than normal state laws, this has been the case for a very long time and the battle over pre/post flight duties has been fought before. And no you don't need a union to have a CBA that applies to the entire work force.



The only caveat is typically that duty time/gross pay equals at least minimum wage over the long run. If you're not getting at least that, you can file a claim with the state labor board and they'll force the company to pay the difference. Some FO's used to do that when starting pay was $19/hour.

Oh so it's a CBA when it benefits the company... Shocking

Well that's what is being tested here isn't it?

I just don't see any let up in onboarding Ejet pilots though. For reserves to drop, wouldn't the classes either have to reduce in size or happen less frequently?

Also, ORD is the junior base for both Ejet FO's and Captains. If the reserve at ORD is one year (as you indicate), then the reserve at more senior bases must be longer? Or, am I missing something?

ORD has had a longer reserve time due to no real growth. SEA, PDX, and LAX to some extant grew quickly. Once all the transfers and transitions filled the new bases they still needed lots of people in those bases. That is why reserve has been longer in ORD for a new hire. I would guess that once all of the ERJ's have been delivered hiring will slow. Lots of ERJ first officers do not want to upgrade on the CRJ.

What's the latest on the E175 deliveries?

How many more are expected to arrive by the end of 2017?
