Hey bro's

Anybody ever buy Zed tickets on Virgin Atlantic? If so, do we get ID90? Trying to build a trip to London with the fam. Thanks so much for any and all advice!

I believe ACARS takes care of it (when you select autoland) for the CA as PF but not the FO as PM (since you can only select 1 pilot).

They're cheaper than ID90's. You can book them through travelnet by clicking on other airline travel and going into the myidtravel website. There was a memo that came out a while ago with the Virgin Atlantic fares but I'm not sure where it is.

I regularly see all sorts of potential GS out of NYC go to ATL reserves. All it costs the company is 1 DH from ATL...
It could be that a guy is on SC today, his final day of a reserve block, and is off for the next 3 days. There's a 4 day trip they're trying to fill, and you have a GS request on file. If the rules are met, you could be assigned that trip. It would pay you 1 day pay and credit towards guarantee (the SC day), and 3 days pay, no credit above guarantee, with 3 PB days.

If you were on LC in the same scenario, the trip would be coded as an "F" if it was a GS with less than 12 hours to report. In that case, you'd get 4 days pay above guarantee, one day of credit (I think), and 3 PB days as day one would be a RES day.

Quick profit sharing question for those in the know.

If I already contribute the max for the year ($18k), can I still have the profit sharing put into the 401k as long as the total between the company and my contributions fall below the $53k annual limit?

Is that only if the day following on call status is a golden day? They can always fly you into a X day if you have adequate rest and not pay you a dime extra.

Sorry, once you hit the $18,000 limit (2015) for elective employee deferrals, you are done. You will receive it as ordinary income. I looked into this last year when we received an 'Advance' on our Profit Sharing in October. I believe that shortly after we voted the TA down, the company announced to the other employee groups that they would not be doing an 'advance' check this year.....perhaps they are hoping that they can still get us to reduce PS before they decide to write next year's checks.

Not in the sense I think you mean it--the $18K refers to the "elective deferral" limit, i.e., the amount you can "elect" to put in as pre-tax ("defer"). There's no distinction between regular pay vs PS so far as the elective deferral is concerned (and, no difference on your final tax bill, either, though you may see a larger or smaller hit in the specific pay period(s) involved).

The DPSP contribution (15% "company" contribution) will still go in, pre-tax, until the total for the year hits the $53K overall limit.

If your goal is to get as much into the account as possible, you can still make 401(a) contributions (after tax), without regard to the elective deferral limit (up to the same $53K limit)--I don't know if it's possible to do so from the PS, though.

Find the chart with the prices on DeltaNet/TravelNet/Leisure Travel/Interline Travel, then click on Other Airline Travel. Click on Delta / Virgin Atlantic JV chart.

The prices are very cheap, flat rate for international (have to add taxes to the price listed I imagine)
