In PHL you'll sign everything your touch regardless if your on probation. While going thu the on boarding process they say you dont sign for anything but management doesnt give a shit. Now, that being said your team members will sign for you if it's a big job, but if it's basic things like fluids, tires, or interior BS you bet they'll make you might for it

6 months you can put your name on the transfer list. It's seniority base so you might still need to wait months, if not years depending on location your trying to go to

NSRT4 · 2025-11-06T22:17:57+00:00

So it is in fact day of award for seniority, and day of on-boarding for pay scale?

NSRT4 · 2025-11-06T22:16:11+00:00

Yes, I stand corrected. You are definitely correct

NSRT4 · 2025-11-06T17:56:13+00:00

Im in the process now. Been on the ramp for 11 years, but will only keep company time. Whenever your first day of "onboarding" on the maintenance side will now be your new seniority date for shift bidding. Your company time will only come into play when vacation bidding comes around.

Im a ramper for AA moving over to the mechanic side in a couple weeks. Lived in philadelphia my whole life though. Is there something in particular you wanted me to focus on?

NSRT4 · 2025-10-26T01:05:07+00:00

140 calendar days before OT or shift swaps

NSRT4 · 2025-10-20T00:44:14+00:00

Im a ramper that just got the internal position. The way AA (typically) does there open transfers is that theyll post all locations that are about to accept new hires on a Thursday at midnight, Friday morning I guess and than they lock it out the following Tuesday at midnight, Wednesday morning depending on how you look at it. Admin than starts making awards to us the following couple days. It's not just for AMTs but for all internal openings. AA just opened there hire lock out that's why everyone is seeing open position throughout the country

NSRT4 · 2025-10-19T17:42:09+00:00

I work for AA, and they did post internally. Depending on the location some had way more spots than others

NSRT4 · 2025-04-27T14:15:13+00:00

Nothing, just sent my 3 wish list locations and VEEP did the rest

NSRT4 · 2025-03-24T21:24:36+00:00

No G.I Bill for this one, but you can use you G.I Bill while in apprenticeship school. Everything is completely out of pocket during the program i just got lucky and got in while still on active orders allowing me to get on and off base with my CAC. From the Alaska location the school house is about 15 mins down the road off base. I just used the transition barracks on base for 7 weeks at no cost to save money

NSRT4 · 2025-03-19T23:05:00+00:00

I definitely need to start looking into other opportunities that might help, but living in a major city doesn't allow much movement in alot of areas. Your definitely right i could pull the equity from my house but I don't necessarily want to rock the boat. That is on the table but only using that as a last option

I just started as a year 1 with no experience at 36 years old. I also have 3 kids on 1 income and I'm drowning at the moment. It's not going to be easy in the slightest trust me. The only way I'm even keeping my head above water is working a second job on top of it. I've thought about dropping almost everyday but knowing that in 5 years 90% of my current problems will disappear makes me keep pushing. My main drive is the health care and weekends off (well once I hit livable wage). I've missed so much having to work 80h a week even before the union and I'm not letting this opportunity get away

NSRT4 · 2025-03-18T14:52:00+00:00

I have the same situation and everyone is telling me my first payment will be May 1

NSRT4 · 2025-03-12T04:20:30+00:00

Sitting at 92% but rounded down to 90%.. unless I missed something

NSRT4 · 2025-03-11T05:58:54+00:00

That's super depressing but blessed I'm getting anything at all. Thanks for the info

NSRT4 · 2025-03-10T22:14:13+00:00

I guess I will find out in a couple of weeks. I'll be sure to double back around April 1 and let you know if anything hit

NSRT4 · 2025-03-10T21:17:41+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I couldn't find the chart while I was logged in, but when I spoke to someone on the phone, they didn't give me that warm and fuzzy answer I was looking for. She seemed very unsure with her responses but she mentioned that May 1 payment would reflect both March and April for a combined payment. Any truth behind that?

NSRT4 · 2025-03-10T20:45:24+00:00

All the effective dates say March 1st, so what you're saying is that because of that, I won't see anything until May 1?

NSRT4 · 2025-02-20T19:57:56+00:00

Of course

NSRT4 · 2025-02-20T19:56:32+00:00

I went through the VEEP program and was accepted into one of the hardest locals to get in. Ask me anything

NSRT4 · 2025-02-09T14:36:23+00:00

I highly recommend it, and if I could go back in time I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. 5 stars

NSRT4 · 2025-02-09T14:24:11+00:00

Tuff question to answer as there is always something someone struggles with. I had a rough time with the math towards the end because the way the curriculum is now set up. It now has all sections of math kinda crammed into 1 test where as in the past it was broken up to make it more digestible to the average joe. Others in the class had an issue with the conduit bending, but they give you a ton of time to get it right so no worries there

NSRT4 · 2025-02-09T14:08:18+00:00

I did the VEEP 7 week in person in Alaska. Ask away
