And my REG month totals are correct also. The portion in both months that list each rotation has an issue in the "pay time" column that apparently will not factor in to my pay calculation.

BTW, I have know idea how to use the PAYBACK day to my advantage as a schedule holder. Thanks for all the help
The best use of the payback day is pick up a 1 day trip and drop it with the payback day. Pickup or bid the highest time trip you can find.

I'm totally complaining. But 9 years...I would love to upgrade in 15 or 16 or 19 years. Just saying
This, but don't forget DOH isn't a good measure. A guy in the 9000s may have 15 years in, but the guy one number senior might have 13 years.

Junior MD Cap in NYC went down to 8200 something on this last bid, if I recall. 717 A is still relatively senior, even in DTW.

DAL88, I've been here (NWA/DAL) for 16.5 years and am no where near your seniority (~8100). If I wanted to commute to NY for the MD88, I could barely hold reserve. The SLI had a dramatic impact on my year group and won't get any better when the fences come down. But I can't do anything about that and just keep on keepin' on.

Is the fact that the RAT is out indicative of anything?

Yes before I said 6 more years I checked on the most jr capt at delta. It will take six more years to reach that number. And you are correct the pilot 1 number jr to me was hired 2 years prior to me. So he is looking at 22 years to bid the lowest capt position at Delta.

Fellow dudes and dudettes…I know that it has been bantered around on here but would like some info, again. Looking at taking the wifey-pooh and three kiddos (14B, 11G, 8G) to a good all inclusive…preferably one that gives us a good deal. Going to look at PUJ and a few others. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, need to factor in non-reving….several flights a day would be nice…thanks in advance…DW
