This may never happen to me again but it was nice.
Feels good doesn't it? There are massive retirements and movement in the next 10 years, don't worry that's just the 1st of many for you. When I had my first 150 hour month I thought it wouldn't get any better, then 3 months later I had a month with 210 hour pay + 10 PB days in the bank for 22 days work (and I wasn't even close to the senior guys who REALLY worked the system, 360 hours pay anyone?) I don't claim to be smart enough to definitively say a new premium pay system will ruin greens but I suspect it will have a negative impact. Rolling Thunder, greens on top of OE trip buys, and GSWC are among of the best deals we have going at DAL, why would we ever mess with them?
