Did anyone else notice a huge jump in the flight advance from July 1st paycheck to the August 1st paycheck?

I don't remember seeing anything in the contract about a change

Found it, it's one half of reserve guarantee for the month. It all makes sense now.

Remember, "1+1=3." Amazing how guys "in the know" and still in positions of leadership can miss the mark by so much.

That is the NEW way like NWA. The old DAL way was a set amount, like $1200, depending on your longevity. The new way is WAY better. Thank you NWA!

If any of you can't handle that extra $$, I can give you an account number to transfer it to.

Shockingly, I can't find the reference to it anywhere, but, the 30th paychecks are now 1/2 of that particular month's reserve guarantee or something else?

Yeah Boog, it's in there. I'll see if I can find the reference. I thought the bank made an error in my favor.

Later though, or the Captain will be mad i'm late for pick up!

Yup, we're still getting half of the reserve guarantee but the reserve guarantee just went way up...thus the bump in the first of month check. My wife has already spent it. Don't know about you guys.

Also, been flying my butt off and the airplanes are packed. Haven't had more than a handful of empty seats in months. Non-revving? Forgeddaboutit.

We better be making some serious scoots.

But the reserve guarantee can move between 72-80, so we are going to have 2 checks that vary month to month?
