I worked 11 days this summer so far and have normal pay checks. I worked 15 days in May and made 135 hours. These aren't loopholes or ninja antics. This is literally provisions in all our PWA. Work smarter not harder. The group really needs to step up its game.
45 block, 125 credit, 10 days worked in July, 0 hours sitting reserve. Done flying by the 18th with 0 obligation to the company. It’s the best deal at delta and any tinkering with it negatively would be a hard hard no for me. I’m always confused why anyone who lives local doesn’t bid reserve.
