Hey Prez this might be worth mentioning

Anyone who goes to either FDA will find themselves with a very small paycheck when they go back to MEM for their annual check ride. When the SFS crews go back to MEM unless training can be done on days off. The company will take out approx 11 days of work to put in your travel days and training by the way our paycheck structure is:TRN DFT VLT to be paid on the following month's 15th paycheck. This is not an issue for any other base but it will be for sure in HKG. Just ask any SFS crew. Here is an email sent to the SFS crews that saids it all.



Just a heads up when you're bidding for training. If you protect min days and they drop trips/r days for training, you will not get
paid the TOD until the following month. In other words, if you have 11 days of training and you have 4 rdays left, you will get a c
heck on the 15th of that month that will be half of the remaining RLG. You can mitigate this by going into the drop add and doing CIA if you choose to. Might want to get into the contract and take a look at this one.
