Pilots have been getting the card in the mail lately, and if you take the card to an interview, you get a $50 card to Amazon.

Not to thread hijack, but I'd look into CommutAir. While we're not actively advertising DECs, it's going to happen-- at a higher pay and QoL than TSA and preferential interview at United. And you'll actually be a left seat flying captain, not a right-seater.

We told our cqfo the same thing. Your statement is no different than what our recruiters told them. Our cqfo are still flying as captain. Most of them are upgrading to full pledge captains. Then the rest are FO that are holding a pretty sweet line. Most bases are one month reserve.
 
I got 2 of them yesterday.

I don't know too much about TSA operations. I do find it funny that you can identify TSA 145s by their yellow wingtips - I guess they've had problems taxiing into stuff? The one month I saw regional performance numbers for AA, they were towards the bottom.

I understand that the 145s are "on loan" for one heavy check, then AAG will reevaluate those contracts.

Another way is our apu cowlings aren't painted, they are bare metal. And no we don't run into stuff, we just slide off runways. Our numbers are so low because we can't run w&b off the eagle crappy universals. We are in the process of upgrading the universals to handle w&b. Contracts are for 4 or 5 years with AA.
 
From what I hear the CQFO program ended up as I had predicted.

Only accept Direct Entry CA jobs.

CQFO with sketchy management just isn't worth the time.

Interesting. How does TSA run W&B? I assume you run a form of EWBS that doesn't play well with universal?

I suppose I learned the "one heavy check" info from the rumor mill around here. I didn't realize it was for that long. Has TSA management fed you guys more info one those contracts?

That's funny, real Eagle pilots never had any problems making their digital weight and balance work...

With the universal we have to call every leg to get the numbers. From what I heard eagle won't let us use their software to run the w&b. From a management stand point, we don't sign contracts unless they are at least 5 years.

Tell your guys to lend us a loving hand :-) we were told that eagle wouldn't allow us to use their w&b software. Hence the upgraded universal.
 
Doesn't Envoy use the AA TPS system? And TSA uses AeroData?

Somehow I don't think the problem is Envoy "not helping out" since they use something completely different, rather TSA not paying AeroData to code a new W&B module.
