E-190 Preparations...

[ab320driver]

Anyone seen or heard the plans for integrating the E-190 into the fleet. I see the Check Airman bid closes today. Any training center changes seen yet? Hopefully this will bring back furloughees from all parts of the airline...

It would be nice if USAirways would use the E190's to bring flying back to mainline.

Wouldn't it be great to see the C-Concourse at CLT filled with Mainline E-190's and send those CRJ Penciljets back to Mesa West?

Probably just wishful thinking, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. There hasn't been any real growth (other than training float) at USAirways since pre 9/11.

Every time you see a Republic E-170 or a Mesa CRJ-700 you can see the loss of Mainline Pilot/F/A/AMT jobs right before your very eyes. But 57% of the USAirways pilots voted to have it that way.

51% of the West pilots voted the same way as well.

Water WAY under the bridge now. These things can, and will, be corrected in the future...

E-190s are going to be mainline. I've seen a couple of job postings. Last week one opened for a maintenance programs specialist.

 

[Crzipilot]

Just curious, but has mainline thought of taking the knowledge of those that did the 170 program for the 190??? Would seem to make sense, or are the politics and "we can do it our way better" getting in the way of logical thinking?? Saw they had the 190 fleet manager listed in the About US.....did he have hany contact with the 170 or???? Will be interesting to see how smoothly the 190's come in and get going, one would think it would/should be seemless since the 170's were here.

=========================================================

The job requirements would likely shut out any former MDA folk:
-Current Check Airman
-3+ years as Captain
-seniority to be off reserve as a 190 Captain
-other stuff about being a good egg.

Mark Boots is the new Fleet Captain. The check airmen will probably be bottom seniority check airmen that bid the position to stay in the training department. It must be a good deal.

The 190's will be flown by main line pilots. The seats will be split 50-50 between east and west pilots. Also, after we are on one pilots list, west pilots will have the rights to 7 c/o and 7 f/o seats for the 3 757's we just got.

Atlantic,
Glad to see you already know how the arbitration has gone, along with who gets what. BTW can you tell me my new seniority number?

MDA had a great training staff and at least one of those key players will be directly involved with the 190 program. Much of the training materials is written and FAA approved already and will be used. Their manual was so good that the format was adopted by other fleet types. The simulator is already approved as well. All they need to do is hire a few check airman and they are off to the races in minimum time.

Will the 737's that are going to be parked -- and replaced by the C-Scale 190's -- be split among east and west, or are they all coming out of the east?

(I'm betting on the latter.)

So I guess the seats on the airbus that are on order on the AWA side will be split 50/50 also, right!? I agree on the 3 757's, but the EMB orders were there from before the merger, they were the conversion options from the 170's.

Crzipilot,
This has been agreed to by both pilot groups, by their reps, outside of arbitration.

Read the transition agreement the 757/190 are considered growth flying which is to be divided among west/east. Abritration will decide not wheather it will happen but the ratio which it be done at. Its all there in black n white.

Atlantic,

Haven't seen anything has been agreed to. Last I saw was it was heading to arbitration. You have a copy of any code-a-phone or such stating such?
