July 1 pays double for June. July 2nd pays single since you are on resv for the July month, but you get an extra day off (if you put in for it).

Also, keep in mind that any soft time will spill over to July. So if it's a 2 day worth 10:30, but you only hard fly an hour on day 1, then you will get a whopping 2 hours in June! And then 9:30 straight pay above guarantee in July.

You don't have to "put in for" the payback day. It is automatically placed on your next RSV day, which is how rolling thunder gets started.

Their new agreement with AA puts our code share with them in play. They're playing both sides against the middle. They can't have it both ways. If we don't acquire/merge with them, AA/US Air will. Its a matter of time.

Mons Venus, in Tampa, but The Bearded Clam is a close second. By far, the most talent is at The Grand, in Joburg!

This statement proves my point. You want a system where pilots who cannot hold the 777 will get 777 pay. How do you propose to do that? Either the total payroll would have to go up, or some pilots will have to be paid less.

What I said was: no 777 pilots I have flown with in the past 7 years have said they wanted it. It is the -other- pilots, who will never hold the 777, who want it, for obvious reasons. Mo'money. But I'm not getting a raise, so, what-ever.
