Is flica doing 2013 expense reports? I seem to remember in the past ordering them in December, but I can't find anything on it.

Boog, you have some varying numbers there, but this is how it is supposed to work. You call in sick for your 42 hour 6-day. You would have one SICK entry on your time card for the full 42 hours. You call in well effective for day 5 of that trip. There should then be two entries on your time card, one for the amount of sick time used while you're actually sick and a second entry for the amount of sick time used after you called in well. If days 5 and 6 of your trip have a total of 11 hours of block and there is 6 hours of credit for the trip (always applied at the end of the last duty period) then your two time card entries would be 25 hours and 17 hours.

If you then picked up a 12 -day trip worth 72 hours that touched the footprint of the original rotation, 17 hours would be used to pay back your sick leave hours used after you called in well and the remaining 55 hours would be paid out to you. This would give you 72 hours of flight pay plus 25 hours of sick pay for a total of 97 hours.

Another example would be calling in sick for a 4-day worth 21 hours (exactly 5:15 block each day). You call in well effective for day 3. 10:30 sick time used while sick and 10:30 sick time used while well. On day 4 you w/s and fly a 2-day trip worth 10:30. The end result would give you 10:30 flight pay and 10:30 sick pay for a total of 21 hours.
Thanks for the reply. Do you know what happens to the trip credit? I know that if you do a carry in trip, the trip hour credit gets credited to the following month, I wonder if the credit for the longer trip has to be "replenished" by the conflicting sick call/picked up trips.

Example: 82 hour trip with 30 hours of trip credit. Call in well day 7. Pickup a trip on day 10, 7 hours - 8 hours on last two days. Is 15 hours paid back to sick bank or 45 hours with trip credit.

I called up and asked. They said it should be available to order in Jan. And yes they used to take orders in Dec.

Don't waste your time with Flica....they are a total disaster. Pay $49 and get it from Pro-Diem. Last year some guys didn't get their Flica stuff until April. Pro-Diem can have your report by Jan 15th.

This is true--the bottom 20 73 guys got pushed out of SLC, and about 13 ended up at LAX... wierd reversal, as LAX has been senior for several years.

I think the SD > SLC commute is touchy... 5 flights, all Delta, only 3 mainline. LAX > SLC has 15 flights a day, several are delta. Not sure about DTW, but it's definitely doable. I think living in SD would make for a LONG drive to LAX to catch reliable flights to SLC, and I sure wouldn't want to do it if I was reserve!

To anyone into MMA, a sad day and bad ending to Anderson Silva's career, the greatest fighter of all time. He completely snapped his leg during a leg kick.

Just saw the pics on Yahoo.

Must have been a lot of power in the kick.

Default 8+ hour day

8+ hour scheduled day ok for January? I thought our contract limited our flight day to 8, even though regs have changed. I have one later in the month.
