If we don't have pref bid by 8/1/2013, it goes back down to 10 days off
Wow.......so they used a measily extra day off on RSV (Eagle and most others have this already) as the club to force PBS on you guys ?
You're better off going back to 10 days off for reserves. Your signing and retro should be taxed as non-earned income, so Uncle Sam will bend you over for about 40% on that.
But everybody's satisfied, so onward and upward at the mighty TSA. Speaking of TSA, considering time off and pay, I'm curious as to how this new contract compares to a TSA airport screener. Perhaps someone could post some contractual pay info. I'd like to get an idea of when a pilot under this contract would equal a TSA screener and then how many more years it would take to recapture the loss of the inital catch-up period.
