Re: Any Update On The New Contract?

Don't hold your breath. It was negotiated by the same negotiation team that brought us this current garbage contract. More concessions coming in order to foster increased retention and recruitment. :roll: . Vote it down. "You deserve better." Clearly the company still has no respect for the pilot g...

Re: New Payscale?

How long of a term is the new contract that was signed at Flair? I expect no pay increases will be coming until the end of that term. Flair pilots agreed to it and therefor seem to be stuck with it. It is very rare for companies just to throw more money out there. Porter is doing it because they kn...

Commuting is doable? Is that a joke?

ULCC is fly where you are based. You will be miserable commuting. If you get an offer it is what it is.

What ever Flair is doing in the hiring process, it is working well. No matter the experience level, we are taking on exceptional individuals that are very switched on.

Re: Agreement in Principle reached

I don't see AC making historic wage gains as it's all supply and demand and currently there is no issue on the supply side for AC pilot recruiting. Maybe if all WJ/Encore pilots stop filling AC PIT classes that would change it, but based on this AIP I'm not sure if that will be the case. The worst ...

Re: ground schools canceled

I think there are great benefits to being at Flair, and the working relationship with the company and management is far superior to what the large carriers have to offer. I suppose it depends on what you value, and there's a lot of value in what Flair has to offer. What are the great benefits? Wher...

BleedAIr Valve, exactly. The only leadership we as Flair pilots have seen thus far has been from Flight Ops. Not the CEO. Not the Union. Honesty and transparency is key.

Re: ground schools canceled

To be fair, these guys (Flt Ops Management) were blind sided by this and completely unaware of what was about to unfold.

At least management is trying to give us some information. The MEC? Here's a hotline to call someone who cares. These guys need to go.

Re: ground schools canceled

Any merit to this rumour? All hiring and training: As in, Command Upgrade Training? Any base reductions? Not a good time to upset those already awarded upgrades and not follow through. Likewise with shuffling bases. Moving is not cheap. I hope some management can weigh in on this via townhall or here.
