Sharing some updates on the changes we've seen since March. No sugar-coating, just the facts:
Now, regarding base assignments, it’s hard to comment on that as the projects are changing every year.
As far as I know, the priority is given to local crew as much as possible, with exceptions if the base is mostly for ICAO pilots, Line Trainings….
- More time at home with a solid block of 10 days off every month, plus 2 extra for travel.
- Salaries have gone up for cadets, FOs, and CPTs.
- Extra fees for TRI, TRE, and GI got higher as well
- We all (cabin and flight crew) in a number of bases have access to UBER/BOLT Business accounts now, We call our own taxi and we don’t depend anymore on Crew Travel- simple and so easy
- As of now, Instructors are booking their own flights through the internal system, and there's talk of extending that to everyone.
- Communication with OCC and Crew Travel is improving, but there's still work to be done.

A friend recently attended one of those online roadshows and he said the only difference was the roster pattern. Now it is 2 days for commuting, 20 days on base and 10 days off at home. Pay is the same, no change except that, only, for 2024 the summer pay will be extended until November. Also the same thing of only 10 months guaranteed pay. Just sharing what I was told.

And the same crazy travel arrangements, everything in order to save some bucks: third class train tickets for five hours travels, booking five different transports when traveling with all the luggage for a month stay… The null respect for the staff is so impressive and so attractive...Just another example of how the things are going.<br />

737 fleet?
Hi, could someone from 737 fleet PM me about bases? I am thinking about going there, primarily for 20/10 roster - they advertise 2 travel days included in 20 ON. It looks better than at my current company. The other option would be possible cpt upgrage (6000 TT, 1500@737). Thx for help
