Having just retired I am shocked at how many job offers are popping up. Sadly I am far to lazy to take any of them and they all would interfere with my personal life. In the case of the VEOP pilots however I don’t usually understand the point of taking the VEOP and then starting over at another airline. Most would make more money and certainly have a far better quality of life simply staying at Delta.

 

Congratulations on your retirement

 

Time card rant to follow…
over the past 3 months I’ve tracked how many times I’ve had to pimp scheduling to apply pay back days. Thus far it’s running at about 70% failure rate. Twice I’ve had to call again because they were incorrectly applied after being notified of the initial error. I also noticed the March make up check was a little light and after some PAS math I discovered it was short 14 hours. All errors have been fixed but It’s beyond irritating. I know there’s a lack of experience on the other end of these transactions, but this is edging closer to wage theft. Double check your interactions with scheduling always! It’s nauseating to think about how much of this crap goes unnoticed. Yes, fcr filed, cpo notified, etc. It won’t help fix the problem from that angle but I hope a bit more awareness on our end can generate enough pestering that scheduling begin performing their tasks more thoroughly.

 

Hey all. Does anybody here know how the Holiday pay will work? I understand it's 5:15 on top of the pay for the day. In my example I have a 4 day leaving on Memorial Day. The is worth 21:15 and the in the bid package there is 5:15 HOL. My timecard does not have the 5:15 HOL anywhere to be found. If anyone has any insight I'd appreciate it.

Nothing

 

The implementation LOA says the pay will be done manually. I’d imagine it will be added either when the rotation closes out, or in your paycheck.

 

Thanks NuGuy!

 

As a friendly reminder: GS, reroutes, and other changes to time cards have been a struggle recently. I would imagine that manually added holiday pay will be as well. Best to keep an eye on it.

 

Honestly it’s best to watch them no matter what you are doing. It’s your money. I still double check the closed time on every trip I fly.

 

JG is that you?!
