You never have to answer the phone. Ever. Even on short call, you can let it go to voicemail and then call them back or acknowledge online.
The only time I answer the phone is if I'll take a short-notice GS (if the report is less than two hours out, skeds can call the next guy immediately without leaving it on your line for 10 minutes). Other than that scenario, there is zero upside to answering the phone when scheduling calls...and a lot of ways to get hosed.

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.
As always, be careful who you get your advice from on this Bulletin Board.

You are allowed to contribute up to the max of $53,000 using $18,000 of your own money but IF you max out the Delta $$ you cannot reach the $18,000 limit, UNLESS, you're over 50, when you can contribute an extra $6000 up to $59K....
All totaled, you can't max out the Delta money and the 18k and the 6k because it's too much! (IF you earn >265k)
If you don't care about "tax free" money, then put the $18k in from your PS check in February, and the Delta money will stop at $35,000, and you'll pay taxes on the $4,750.....

Maybe you guys making 265K plus a year can buy that starving regional FO breakfast next time.

OBTW - You do realize all of these guys are over 50, many over 60, who had thier pensions terminated.
Finally, Do you think they were hired into WB CAPT positions?
Get over it.

Just so you know there are at least two hotels Dal uses now for layovers.
The Holiday Inn will give you 50% off food and booze with your ID for you and family even when there on pleasure.
