I was told Flt pay plus Flt Advance times .083. Don't forget about the 25% federal tax joy.

Despite that look on my face, I had a blast, learned as much as my little brain could handle and wrote down the rest.
Thanks Jughead.

Would have been nice to have known this prior to bidding.

.. LOL, I bet I told at least 10 pilots that this is not the way it's paid out. You could almost see the joy leave the face.

The odd part in the two incidents mentioned; Asiana in SFO and SW at wrong airport, is that in the first case, they did rely too much on the automation, and in the second case, they seemed to ignore it.
So...which is it; do we need to rely more on automation to find the right airport at night, or ignore it to make a day VFR landing when the ILS is inop?

Gents, I'd appreciate it if someone would field a couple of questions as I plan my return from mil leave.
1. When I return, I'll have been out of the cockpit for 16 months. I plan to return to the same plane. Do I go through full initial training, or some fraction thereof?
2. When I tell the company where I want to drop back in, do I base that on the staffing list current during the month I call, or on the projected staffing list for the month I'll actually show up? This is a big deal for me - it's the difference between SLC and DTW.
