Just a bit of general stuff for all those concerned.
Latest rumour heard today - Q400 salary will be 90% of jet salary, obviously subject to a ballot in the latest pay deal, yes the one that has been ongoing for 9 months! And as of next year will be the same as jet salary.
I stress that this is a rumour but following on from the CEO's letter last week concerning retention of Q400 crew may hold a bit of water.
The Q400 isn't a bad ship, all the toys up the front, bags of performance, fun and challenging to fly. I don't miss the 146 at all.
The feeling from the flight deck concerning seniority, and this is just a general sweep, is that BAcon crew should join at the bottom. I think this is understandable as there are guys who've done their time in the RHS and/or Q400 and are ready for a command or fleet change and they don't want this taken away from them. However, I heard today that a possibility is to merge the seniority of both lists using DOJ.
This is all pretty much hearsay and I'll leave you to work out if there's any truth in it, I don't know either way, just passing on what I've heard.
Good luck to all concerned.
