When did we start doing LAS-NRT? NWA used to do it on the 747 but that was a long time ago.

I think it's for the couple weeks of the electronics show in Vegas.

Yea, best whale trip , with a long layover in Caesers Palace.

Once, we were given rooms without windows, and the front desk manager replaced our rooms with an upgrade. I had a two room suite overlooking the front of the hotel. The Captain got the suite on top of the hotel, which came with a no menu restaurant, butler and full staff.

We had a good time with every crew mwmber we could find.

Looks like we're doing it three times this year. Not three times a week, 3 times. Today is one of those days.

Looks like a MSP crew with an additional ATL FO.

I believe it went something like this: Pilots had negotiated 15% profit sharing so company gave rest of employees 15%. Company forsee's making over $2.5 billion while in negotiations with pilots on new contract. 5 percent of profit sharing monetized into pay so company can lower profit sharing to 10% (up to $2.5 billion) for pilots and rest of company employees.

(They had 15% while we did.)

Yup.....This!

I am pretty sure the company announced the cut in profit sharing to the rest of the employees prior to the contract being voted on, but I'm not sure. The whole thing in my opinion had to do with the board of directors. They wanted to or needed to pay back investors. In order to accomplish this they shrank profit sharing to 10%, secured a contract with pilots, agreed to terrible stock buyback, and did everything possible to show 4 quarters of profit. This all helped get us on the S&P 500 and investors were able to cash out on a higher stock price. Probably all thought up and hatched by advisers from Deloitte.

Duplicate. It means the same rotation number is being used for both crewmembers but the A & B rotations aren't the same (assuming a two pilot trip). If you pull up the trip in iCrew you should see two separate rotations each with only one crewmember assigned. Pretty common lately with the self-induced staffing crisis.
