I used my APD to drop a reserve day last month and my time sheet shows "Y" for APD available. I thought it was a one shot deal or is it good for 4 total reserve days. I know you can drop up to 4 reserve days with your APD but I assumed they would all have to be connected. Can you drop 4 individual reserve days like 1 each month for 4 months?

Depends on the month you were hired. It resets then with your new pay rate. Ie if you're a Jan guy you get a new APD on that month, so if you use it in Dec it's all good.

I though so too.

Are the Comair crj 700's and 900's going to Pinnacle?

Even if they do, how does that offset the loss of Pinnacle 900's and Colgan Q 400's?

Of course I want Richard to be smart and make all the right moves, but it would be really really nice to hire 3000 pilots, sooner rather than later. How are we gonna get Boomer on the list if we don't start hiring?

This summer, we've been living at the beach. One of my neighbors, about 4 doors down is a retired Exxon executive. We had a discussion about the trainer refinery - a topic that he knew more about than me - by far...He was visibly and animatedly positive that it was a brilliant move..."Genius" was his word choice...FWIW.

I've got time to let the puzzle pieces fall into place. Sooner is better than later though.

Also, I should have bought that picture of me and my wife on the roller coaster to keep it off the web. Bar should have sat at the back...:D

Yup, it definitely wasn't smart to let Bar sit behind your wife. :)

Do you know if APD's reset on the hire month for North guys, too? I was hired in September, but I think my pay and longevity increases in November sometime.

Ie. if I still have an APD left in August, I should use it before September, or lose it?
