Out of base GS given out today at 3:09 for the late London. Looks highly irregular and based on the months awards I find it hard to believe no NY 7era had a in base request in. If you did have a GS in and were legal for the trip call Skeds and claim your free 16 hours pay.

Let me ask a stupid question instead of doing a little reading!!! Is DPMA the plan that takes you out to 6 months and TD the one that gets you to a year? If so, maybe all I need is DPMA. I anticipate coming back just prior to my sick leave expiring but no later than a week or two after it runs out. If that's the case, is DPMA all I need or do I need TD?
Thanks,

DPMA is just one easy page--just filled it out over the weekend. Temporary Disability (TD) is about 10-13 pages and much more painful. Took me about 2 hours to sort through and make sense of it all. Spoke with both over the phone last week and everyone was very helpful. I don't plan on having the doctor send it in--I will collect after he's done and send it myself to ensure it gets done.
Also spoke with ALPA (contracts and insurance extensions) and both have been very helpful. I run out of sick leave in 2 weeks so will find out how it all works in short order.
ALPA med is also assisting and is fully engaged on getting the FAA paperwork done.

Regarding ALPA med and our own Delta Doctor, both are EXCELLENT resources. We are extremely lucky to have them both! Also, in my past contact with the folks at Harvey Watt they are very professional and efficient.
Don't misunderstand my angst. It is not against our current programs. But what frustrates me is those that believe this is the best we can do. I just think we can do better.
Stay well!! LLAP!!

More like call in and have scheduling put you on hold for 10-15 so they can come back and tell you their supervisor is looking at it and will call you back. Then when you never get the call back you call the next day and they say, "Yeah, someone senior to you had a GS request in." So they get paid. Which is great, but who wants to do all the work for someone else?

We have actually been fairly well staffed all month. Started the month with every day over the reserves required. There were very few GS's other then Valentine's Day until the last few days. JFK had a mini meltdown yesterday.
Is your head turning to mush? Who said that? I don't recognize you.
The word of the day today is Pre-vert.
The definition of this word is: when a new hire flies to BKK for a little R&R, but wants to jumpseat in order to cover his tracks and stay below the radar, but doesn't know how it's done and then asks how to do it on here, that new hire is a ___________.

He has publicly stated that he would fly 365 days a year if the FARs and contract allowed. He will undoubtedly go into a deep depression when he retires (because he knows no life other than this) and will probably die a week later. Oh well, at least his family will get a good payout.
