Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fly By Night: R&I Educational Update June 2026
Q: My guest today is R&I Committee member Captain Toby Cline. Toby, thanks for stopping by. We've been getting questions about the APRP payment, so can you walk us through the timeline for when pilots can expect to receive that payment?
The APRP should see about 95% of the payment by September 15th, with the remaining portion held back and paid later. This timeline helps pilots plan for the pensionable aspects and tax considerations that accompany the payment.
Fly By Night: Scheduling Committee July 2026 Build Week
Q: What about the TA voting timeline and bidding in July?
Bid packs will be published this week, TA voting closes soon after, followed by bid closes; pay changes may occur depending on TA outcomes, so pilots should review lines carefully.
Fly By Night: Scheduling Committee July 2026 Build Week
Q: Any updates on staffing and bid line guarantees?
Staffing and BLG have fluctuated; the July averages show higher BLG than a year ago, but the situation remains dynamic with ongoing discussions about how hires, retirements, and resignations will affect future staffing levels.
Fly By Night: Scheduling Committee July 2026 Build Week
Q: Any specific changes because of the Md-11 that you can talk about?
We saw initial routings adjusted with the Md-11 substitutions, including moves from the Md-11 back and forth between Europe and the US, and a plan to reintroduce the Md-11 into full-time service which should gradually stabilize some gaps in the schedule.
Fly By Night: Scheduling Committee June 2026 Build Week
Q: What about hiring updates?
There are rumors of new pilots in the pipeline (purple runway), but no official numbers yet; the consensus is that hiring will be a critical factor moving forward as the company navigates the TA and potential changes in scheduling strategies.
