Or is it a me/iPhone problem?
Boy, that agent must of been just as surprised as you!
I access the VRU via my iPhone, and don't have a problem, I guess I enter the numbers a bit slow. Then again, I know guys who program the 1-800 number, a pause, then their ID and password into their phone and it works. Maybe you're just so excited to be under the Delta work rules, your fingers are trembling.

If you're a reserve, this is the section of the contract that talks about that:
Code:
12.J: Reserve Duty Period Average
At the end of each bid period, a reserve pilot will receive the greater of:
a. his accumulated credit earned in the bid period,
b. his reserve guarantee, or
c. 5:15 pay, no credit for each qualifying duty period.
Note: If the value of c. exceeds the greater of a. or b. above,
the pilot will receive pay and credit for the greater of a. or b.
and pay, no credit for the difference of the value of c.
and his credit for the bid period.
This from page 12-11 of the Oct 08 contract
So, I think that end of month it calculates what you're going to get paid. So it might look like you're getting 10:09, but at the end of the month it will be figured out. Other reserve guys, is this right?
