Yeah, it might be an S3B, I can't recall exactly, but I had to fly to Tulsa to meet with an FAA type, on an RJ, and an S3B wasn't going to get me there. I called the CPO and they got me a PS round trip.
OC, I agree, the DPMA was never meant to be a replacement for all lost income, but as new hires we were told it would make us whole. Only true for new hires!
I was thankful I had signed up as a new hire and been enrolled for my entire career, because it is great to have when you need it, but as I noted above, the more years you have put in, the less % it pays you...seems backwards to me.
