This all is from word of mouth but what I have been told that JC will be losing a lot of pilots soon. About 1/3 of their 120 or so pilots looking elsewhere. Some left for Atlas and some leaving for Middle East soon. Struggling to recruit more numbers as some are not turning up and some are rejecting after being given start date. NEW FO under training pay is removed. Current pilots will be given $6k for referring a pilot to join JC, once they complete training. Some of the JC pilots were given a NO result from recent interviews of SO mainline position in order for them to stay in JC group and mainline will be interviewing about 8-10 JC pilots for SO mainline position soon.
You cannot bid for specific trips. You can only bid for RDO's. Day trips are mostly reserved for line training. Multi day trips including up to 4 day trips you will start early Day 1 and finish late close to midnight on Day 4. Last negotiation was straight rollover from previous contract except the salary figures from dctpub's post.
No focus to improve any T&C in retaining current JC pilot group as of yet from JC management or QF.
