My point is I doubt TC has any idea what happened or who did it. No surprise it's ALPA's fault though. :cool:

And yes, I'm equally unimpressed with the healthcare website dabacle. This is not 1994. There's no excuse for not executing a launch successfully. Despite all our problems though, there's still nowhere else I'd rather live. Happy and proud to be here!

More smiley faces always help I say. :D I got the email about the hack and thought, "Seriously?" But I had to give you a hard time about your post. Yes, as much as some are trying to destroy our great nation, there's no better place to be. Let's try and keep it great despite what others are trying to do to it.:)

Yeah we got no defense :(

Funny thing about this year though, we have a much better shot at a bowl game than the Gators... I'll take the Music City Bowl in a NY second....

Further, if DPA can't secure and maintain a simple website, how will they be able to secure contract improvements, job security, etc for the pilot group???:confused: <-----Amateur hour

Sorry couldn't resist :p

Not to mention secure LEC meetings and such things. Hey... maybe they can talk to Sebilius! SHE knows how to set up a website. ROTFLMAO.

What are the chances Muschamp is fired?

I say pretty good.

You know after watching Les Miles be interviewed I can't imagine how entertaining a Les Miles coached Johnny Manziel would have been. CBS would have been printing money.

FWIW, If you are a Flightline customer, you can now go into FLiCA and set trip filters, and it will send you email or text message alerts to open flying that meet your parameters.

Go to Flightline.com, and click on the FLiCA.Net icon to set up the log in. Unlike other airlines that use Sabre for Crew Scheduling, FLiCA is for DAL pilots is extremely limited in functionality. You can't drag and drop trips, you can't do any open time transactions or even print your schedule.

But the one thing that works is the email/text of open trips. It's under "Alerts" on the side menu.

Everyone that knows this little secret will probably now hunt me down, but hey, fair is fair.

Gus has done a nice job of turning around the Tigers.

It's like someone said: "you do realize those are the same players from last year, right?"

Coaching is everything. Evidently so is the weight room. Auburn evidently skipped allowed scrimmage time to hit the weights in the off season because the players were far from where the Gus and Ellis wanted them to be.

I also talked to PBS on how vacation slide might change with top down denial, and denying now left to right vs. right to left...
Vacation slide STILL works as per this notepad:

if you have vacation 10-16th, and you want it slid 3 days later, if not that then 2 days at least, you put
set condition vacation slide 2-3
and it will still try for 3 days, then 2. It's a great tool on coverage months to get the holidays off, a better chance than just "prefer off". Be sure you try a slide to fully cover Xmas (assuming that's your goal), and then try for 24th off, and then try for 16-23rd etc. End result is you MAY get a coverage trip that is maybe the 26th and on, vs 24th start, due to the slide.
Good luck!

There are a couple of things to think about:
1. Vacation slide happens during the normal line building process. Coverage happens before the normal line building process. PBS cannot slide your vacation into a coverage pairings. Thus, vacation slide has no effect on coverage.

2. It is important to realize that the change is from bottom up denial to top down inclusion. With prefer off, the change is from right to left denial to left to right inclusion.

Even though the right to left has changed it has also been changed from denial to inclusion. In a way very little has changed. The important thing is the top is more important than bottom and in the case of Prefer Off, left is more important to right.

The significant difference between the two is that now PBS is able to consider a lower preference even if it was unable to honor a higher preference. Previously, PBS would have to deny all of he lower Prefer Off, Set Condition, and Avoid preferences in order to remove a higher preference that was the bottle neck. Likewise, PBS will consider a right date even if it was unable to honor a date to the left.

Couple of insurance questions. Have used the Gold HRA the last few years, but based on the evaluator the Silver HRA comes in about $700 less per year. From what I can tell the only difference between the two besides the lower premium is you get less delta dollars. Worse case is I hit the max family deductible but with the savings on monthly premium it cost $1000.00 more. What am I missing???

2nd question. Does anyone use(is it allowed) to use the dependent care fsa for pre K(mother's day out type program)?

Thanks
