Blk Hr Summary Table of Contents

The purpose of this report is to provide a technical analysis of the pairings available in the monthly bid along with a historical comparison over the past year. Reports are prepared each month for each domicile & aircraft fleet as well as the entire SkyWest system.

These reports can be useful in both your monthly bid and in considering a transfer or transition to another domicile or aircraft type. You can access archived reports for any domicile online at the SAPA website (www.sapapilot.org) under Resources -> RSR Reports &Scheduling Surveys.

Please contact your RSR if you have any specific input. Often the schedules are constrained by greater considerations that your RSR may be able to explain, but sometimes your input makes a difference in future schedules.

Interpret this data: The number of scheduled block hours is useful to see whether flying in a domicile is growing, shrinking, or remaining relatively constant. The block per day is presented because each bid month may be 30 or 31 days long. Because airline schedules vary seasonally, a year-over-year comparison is provided in the last column to compare the current bid month vs. one year ago.

Please give us your commentary on this month's pairings!

Hello all.

December promises to be a busy month for us on the ORD CRJ. Block hours are higher than they've ever been, both company wide and for our domicile. However, because of the significant increase in staffing this past spring, year over year average line credits are not significantly higher than usual for December, which is always a busy month due to increased schedules around the holidays. Unfortunately, in order to keep the average credits no higher than 88 or 89, we are left with zero FO reserves and 19 (11 fewer than Nov) CA reserves.

If you like locals or CDOs (standups), you may look at page 4 and notice there are a lot fewer of those trips on the CRJ 200 fleet. This will be offset by an increase in shorter trips on the larger RJ variants. For instance, total CDOs are only down by 22 pairings, which is inconsequential compared to the number of CDOs (nearly 500). Locals tell a similar story if you do the math, but its not as significant a change as the graphs appear.

(incidentally, this report will start combining the CRJ200 and CRJ700/900 into one CRJ page soon, to address this issue.)

The reduction of shorter trips (and the resultant increase in longer ones) is largely due to the high number of block hours in the system this month. When hours are high, each crew has to fly more in order to cover all the flying. This leads to longer trips. It also leads to more efficient trips, and you can see that average credit per day is the same or higher than last month for literally every pairing type except 700/900 4 day trips, where it is down by only 5 (1.5%) minutes to 5:20/day.

Remember we are bidding for the winter holidays now, and the bid month runs to the 31st of Dec.

If you have any questions please contact me.

Interpret this data: Staffing is presented for each seat for the specific domicile & equipment type of this report. Total staffing is the sum of targeted line holders & reserve lines, and represents the total number of bidders for a particular month. Target Lineholders is an estimate of the number of line holders in the bid month based on scheduled flying and pre-assigned duties, leave, etc.

% Reserve is estimated based on the number of reserve lines divided by target lineholders. The reserve estimate does not includepilots who are completing training and will not bid until the following month, but who may be assigned flying and/or reserve days in the interim.

Numbers of Each Pairing Length

Interpret this data: These graphs show the absolute numbers of each pairing lengths, and the percentage of pairing-days that pairing length contributes to all the pairing-days in the bid package.

From the table, you might see that 4-day pairings contribute 50% of all the pairing days. From this you can conclude that if everybody wants 4-day trips, you'll have to be above 50% seniority to get them.

Total Duty Periods by Date for All Pairings (Includes Carry-in)

Thursday

86 86 85 84

Interpret this data. This calendar shows how many duty periods from all pairings fall on each day. For example, a 3-day pairing starting on the 10th shows one day on the 10th, one on the 11th and one on the 12th.

Carry-in pairings are included. For example, if there was a 4-day pairing starting on the last day of the previous month, it is counted on the first three days of this month.

This can help you guess when you might be forced to work on a popular day, likeChristmas. If, for example, there are 50 trips on Christmas and your seniority is less than 50 from the bottom, you can bid knowing you'll likely have to work that day.
