Hiring tracking (opposite of furlough tracking)

Seems a strange way to calculate pay. It's a rare airline pilot that credits only guarantee. Our average pilot credits over 1100 hours per year.

Just a way to level the playing field since everyone's contract isdifferent. Compare on base pay only. Got to try and make an apples/apples comparison.

I have nothing against AirTran (except for that pesky "no rehire" policy.) ;-)
 
Last year, I made about 15 hours over guarantee = NOT GOOD. Between union work and a bunch of reserve months I simply couldn't rack up the credits.

That and Pinnacle Corp has a hatred of soft money. Looking at some of our lines, the credit is sometimes LESS than the block thanks to trip values and the 15 minute rule.

Of the majors/legacies, who do you think will hire next?

In the interest of narrowing the list let's only consider those airlines with maximum Captain pay in excess of $150,000 per year. According to the Pro Pilot salary survey that would include:

  • Alaska
  • American
  • Continental
  • FedEx
  • Southwest
  • United
  • UPS
Does not include overrides, overtime, special credits, per diem, etc.

  1. Notable exceptions due to max pay below $150,000: AirTran, JetBlue, US Airways
  2. Delta excluded due to current hiring status

I would say all of them...pilot shortage!!!:sarcasm:

Seriously though from this list, I would say Southwest or FedEx

Ouch...in May I did 33 block and 122 credit

Aroo?

You guys don't get block or better? Wth?

Nope. It's all off of "trip values," which are the average lengths of a city pair. So, in the winter, it could be blocked at 1:35, but you only credit 1:25. Then, if you have to de-ice, you don't even start getting paid again until you hit 1:40 thanks to the "15 minute rule" which says, well, we don't start getting paid extra until leg value + 15 minutes. So, in the above case if you flew 1:41, you'd credit 1:26. And people will still trip over each other to come here.....
 
I felt dirty even filling out the app, but I applied to Compass a couple months back and received a phone call yesterday to interview. I declined due to an upcoming class date with another carrier, but they seem to be rather active.

FWIW.

That, and do you REALLY wanna work for Uncle Hulas? :)

They needed to run three of them about 3 months ago.

That seems to be the case with almost every airline at this point. I think all the bean counters are scared to give the thumbs up for hiring anywhere. That, or no one really wants to be the first one.
 
AWAC minimums are 800/100 according to their website. That's down quite a bit from the 1500 they wanted not too long ago.
 
As of today (9/18) I count nine airlines hiring... ASA, Colgan, Skywest, Commutair, American Eagle, Delta, Air Wisconsin, Pinnacle, Cape Air. Thats a decent size crack in the wall. :D
