You lost me, Josh.And most who do, leave the industry.
Thus, Socal's point still stands.

I've since edited the post.
There's a clause in our contract that says the company can change qualifications, but they have to be posted for 30 days prior and give the association a chance to meet with them to discuss it. Other than that, it doesn't say what the association can do about it. The insurance company probably has a lot more say on the minimum qualifications than ALPA right now.
And considering past history, doesn't really mean much.
HA! I see you have "went home at 2 with a 10, and woke up at 10 with a 2" beforeDepends on if the girl you took home was as pretty as you thought with your beer goggles on.
Yes, I'm well aware of ARG/US and Wyvern standards.
But, lets remember that those are standards created by private entities and not the federal government. To that end, they're overly ridiculous and make even well qualified pilots seem like the death nail in a coffin if a company selected him to operate their aircraft.
Pro-Stands.
FYI, I got GRILLED on my fed ride by a company check airman. My type ride wasn't exactly a walk in the park, either. Basically, when I finished training for my four stripes, I actually felt like I'd earned them and accomplished something. I had more of a sense of accomplishment passing the INTERVIEW for Pinnacle than the FO training, however.
I never felt like I was gonna have to hard core defend my job in the right seat. I've got the feeling the company and the FAA is looking over my shoulder on a daily basis and I could lose my livelihood DAILY now.
Well they probably knew who you were
That's good to know. I obviously didn't mean to knock the guys that have passed the toughest training our company provides.... but when you go through transition training and the CA and FO get the same question together on the transition oral.... "what is the predominent color of this aircraft", after having beaten oneself blue in the face with new limitations, you feel a bit cheated.
Yeah, I can see that. I haven't gone through the transition training.....yet.
If you don't want to fly, this is the base to be in. I've pretty much figured that out. And with 300 hours of open time and 50 reserves... for FOs, that is 6 hours per month, and they are dividing the time equally amongst the reserves so we all get our landings in.
You're gonna hit me for this. I'm gonna break guarantee this month.....and I had 4 days of vacation at the beginning. I'm staring at 58 hours with 4 days of RSV left. There hasn't been a RSV day yet they haven't used me. I was RRA yesterday, and they hit me with a trip that left almost at the end of my RR period. They notified my of it FIVE HOURS in advance. When I asked "You can't give this to a home RSV?" the scheduler said "You're all we've got. We've got 25 RSVs on the CA side, but they're all flying already."
When no-one wants to say anything, there's no teeth.
Must be nice . I'm at least the proud owner of a high speed for March, so that I did get some flying in. I do get weekends off on reserve though! Oddly enough, there is some company material floating around from Flt Ops guru MG that says that somehow the downgrades mitigated the CA shortage. I'm so confused....
