Life at Compass

[JetDoc]

What plane if you don't mind me asking? At my shop the 145 guys are always having to remount it, but the CRJ aren't.

The E170/175...

 

[JetDoc]

The Cincy 170/175 sim has them screwed right into the sill area just aft of the existing paper chart holder. Seemed to work pretty well. Might hinder egress in the actual airplane though...

I'm on the 170 and noticed the side that has the sun has a lot of drops

 

[Vyse]

Supposedly if you wet the suction cups it helps.

 

[Dexter]

In the 145, I always reset the suction cups if i was flying above Fl300 for any amount of time. Also taking the iPad out of the holder during cruise prevents any inadvertent falls.

most jr capt down to a 9/13 hire

30 more LAX CAs announced yesterday.

 

[USN88]

That could touch Jan 14' hires. Maybe.

We're not that close, are we? I haven't been paying close attention to the seniority list.

My 5 1/2 years of freight PIC is useless for the ol' upgrade anyway.

 

[ClarkGriswold]

Doubt it. It'll MAYBE reach December.

 

[motormadness24]

Once we reach early '14 hires I'm guessing we'll see the bypass rate pick up correct? Didn't they hire mostly CFI's up until the AA announcement?

 

[ClarkGriswold]

We're approaching CFI/no 121 territory with this current bid thats open, forsure the ones after.

Nah. There were 2 121 guys in my class of 10. We're still a bid or two off.

I'm not saying all cfi/no 121, just up to this point everyone was qualified. We'll start seeing forced bypasses very soon. I know 1 forsure that this bid may reach.

With the cut down of LAX-SFO and the loss of LAX-SEA this summer how will the company flow crews and planes up to SEA? I'm counting 19 daily departures out of SEA by the end of the year. Is there a way to do it without making it a base?

The flights didn't go away, just to mainline. They will just DH people around...

They can also link crews through cities that are both served by LAX and SEA, i.e. LAS, SAN, SMF etc. I didn't see the shuttle completely eliminated, just reduced, so more links through SFO too. New routes via BOI, PDX, YVR, SJC OAK, SLC, PHX, DEN,TUS, and Montana cities can also be shifted around by then too. SEA is a great candidate for a new domicile, but I'm sure it can be avoided if they really don't want it.

 

[Dexter]

According to the conference call, DTW closing end of May and SEA-FIA starting in September.

RIP DTW

 

[cactusjuba]

Anyword on new domiciles opening to replace DTW? The 30 FOs will just fill into MSP and LAX? I know where the 30 CAs are going...
