Contract Q: If you have a pay back day in the bank from being rerouted into an X day while on RES, what happens when you drop that PD day on a 4 day rotation a few months later when you have a regular line?

FWIW, I looked through the contract and couldn't find the answer. Could one of you stellar contract gurus please point me in the right direction? Greatly appreciated.

I wasn't happy with the results after the request was executed!

Last I knew, 45 of them were on the line with 2 in prep, and 9 more in storage.

It is a Douglas jet; about a 2 to 1, aircraft to operational spares, helps keep up dispatch reliability.

We have a total of 58 MD90's. There are plans to still pick up a few more however the price has gone way up most driven by Delta buying so many. They would like to add 20 MD90's in 2013 to the fleet. That would require a purchase of another 10 accounting for the ones that will still be in the mod lines. One MD90 was destroyed in a hanger accident.

I thought we were getting rid of those (except the 300's)?

Lets assume said pilots wife just recently gave him permission to bid into a category that would make him slightly more junior yet pays better Go figure...
