What's the estimated lease on the 717s? George?

Because what was the estimate? $12M/ea? $1.44M lease per year based on normal 1% of value per month? $126.7M each year once at 88 airframes?

Doesn't seem like a whole lot considering the big right sizing you get. If that's right, just park 14-15 CRJ-200s a year and you have your 717s paid for.

Dang, where is George?

Oh I am sure he will come around these parts before the vote happens.

I can't remember, does vacation credit get factored into the LCW?

Delta guys, a few questions if you don't mind.

1. How many days off minimum?

2. What are the junior bases?

3. What is the commuter policy?

I can answer #3, commuting is a choice.... but we just learned so is reserve.

I am no help. Sorry. I do know ATL is not the junior base.

1: For reserves, 12 in a 30 day month, 13 in a 31 day month. I've never seen below 12 days off for a lineholder (you can pick up to below that, though). Most lines are about 15-16 days off.

2. DTW and NYC- although the smallest narrowbodies can be held by very junior people in other more senior bases. ATL is by far the most senior base, but 2010 newhires (the last hired) can hold DC-9 FO there.

3. Commuting is a choice. Ask the ALPAoids. ;) (I think it's you have to be listed on 2 flights that have seats available or something.... I'll defer to a commuter!)

Sick out question on reserve.

Suppose you get sick and have 1 day left on reserve, followed by 1 day off, followed by more on call days. For example:

Tues: Reserve (Call in Sick)
Wed: Off
Thur: Reserve
Fri: Reserve (Call in Well)

If you call in sick on Tuesday and call in well on Friday, is this considered 1 sick call? How does the company handle the Off day? Would you use sick time on the Off day?

Thanks.
