We will not. We get... "4 hours pay and credit for each calendar day away from base with no duty assigned"
When a duty day overlaps two days, you eliminate that extra 4:00 pay and credit.
Lets keep this factual.

LOA 2014-01 Section 3.C.3 is about the four hour min day. Is that what you are arguing about? Is the argument whether or not that goes away with the removal of ADTG? Also, where is the info about ADGT?

Maybe you should read it again, because it is not a min DAY option, it is... "4 hours pay and credit for each calendar day away from base with no duty assigned"

I reread it. My bad. Is the argument that on your first day of duty your trip runs into the next calendar day thereby negating any min pay for the second day (since duty time on day 2 occurred), assuming you don't duty on again until the third day? Is this the 8 hour three day you speak of? On average how many trips a month would be affected by this minor technicality?

Ill see you there. But I am hoping to jumpseat out that afternoon. Staying at the springhill suites in Eagan the night before. Got a $74 rate off priceline express deals. PM if you want to try to meet that night, course I wont have a car. The offer letter states, "Orientation and training will begin promptly at 8:00 AM and will be held at the Pan Am Training Center located at 1000 Blue Gentian Road, Suite 155, Eagan, MN 55121."
And I'm kind of stuck with the car - so I'll have wheels. Need to book a hotel tonight. Will message you - can meet up on Weds night. Thanks!

I don't think you would want to bring your car up there for orientation, why not just drive up for actual ground school?
I doubt they'll give you a parking pass on orientation and you're not allowed to park your car for more than 10 days in a row anyways. Save yourself the hassle and don't bring your car until ground school starts.

Hi all,
I have an interview next week and I was reviewing some of the gouge questions. Some seem a little tricky/confusing by the way they are worded.
This question popped up..anyone know what the right answer is they are looking for?
10. When you are doing your preflight and your battery voltage reads zero, what is the case?
a. the voltage meter will always read zero when the main buses are unpowered.
b. the battery is dead and needs to be charged.
c. the battery will be charged once the engines start.
d. volts don't matter, it's amperage that is a better indication of a battery's condition.
Thanks for any help! If anyone else has any other advice I'd gladly take it.
