What's you math on a 72 hr month?

About two hours more than I have seen in a year. It's about $922.24 more.:D and in January it would be $2,078.56.

Aren't you going to be on the hook for another short call and get the opportunity to fly more hours per month?

:eek:

I'll take the POSIBILITY of another SC for $2,500 any time. BTW: If I were to get the 80 hour reserve month for January, that extra SC would be worth nearly $3,800.:D

I love how guys ignore all other facts to try to make a point. Bottom line, reserves are going to fly more to receive more pay. That may include some months of up to 99 hours. Line holder could have made more with greenslips and reserves could have made more with "rolling thunder" without this contract....and could have got paid a lot more per extra hour of flight time.

What is the minimum ratio of MBH to DBH, Alex

Whoops, guess you missed the part where as DCI shrinks that we didn't lock in a high enough ratio to require any mainline growth, Alex. ;)

I hardly fly as it is and all my vacation generally just evaporates without notice. I don't even bid for any of them. I have never sold a single day of vacation, but I was thinking what a waste that is. I fly so little I can barely remember what the overhead panel looks like. So why keep my vacation? This is probably a stupid question, but can one sell vacation time after they have already been awarded, or does it have to occur when the period is open for bidding? Just wondering.

Gee Jack, does that mean I will now actually have to fly at least one trip per month instead of sitting on my can for the entire month and annoying everyone on this thread on a daily basis? Maybe then I will remember what the overhead panel looks like, or that yoke steering wheel thingy.:rolleyes: Rolling Thunder, maybe in LAX, but a joke where I'm based. We cover way more LAX trips than we ever do our own.

I don't care if you fly or don't fly. A lot of pilots liked having reserve as an option to spend time with family and more time at home in the winter months. Having options are a good thing for pilots after BK gutted many other good work rules. Another good option is gone now. We have some sweaty dollars to show for it. Yay....a DALPA victory!
