Get #60,000???

Sorry. Im bored while waiting for my inevitable short call assignment for tomorrow. :D

My vote for next "non-epic" thing to fix in the contract prior to opener.

Sick pay being reduced after 300 hours in 3 years.

I'm sure others can come up with equally irritating items.

You can refill your 300 hours at 100% pay one every (I think) 5 years by calling the cpsc. There's a limited timeframe to request this.

Congratulations
 

You win a gently used Delta Fleece(ish) blanket! Expect it in 6-8 weeks.:)

Anybody know where that info is? I need to do that.

I hear ya
 

Me too! plus 1 for content requirement.

Why isn't it done automatically?

I thought it was...every three years.:eek:

Only after coming off of long term disability.

On the ER can't the CAPT bring the nonrevs up to first after take off?

I had it explained to me as "must have used dpma"

On widebody its easy to exceed 300 in three years without going on ltd. You could probably do it with 2 sick calls each spanning two twelve day trips, but in separate years.

Another gotcha appears to be its not a rolling 36 month reset but rather only resets in June.

I believe it also applies to STD. At least I hope!

ALPA... (I love this game)...

Your not going to see it fixed prior to the next contract unless the company needs something of fairly high value from us. Perhaps the Virgin deal might supply the opportunity. Absent something like that the company is not going to make a high dollar change pre contract. All the items in the SOT are for the most part no or very low cost. In some cases they save the company money.

Sweet! Can I the red one with the embroidered Delta? :D

That depends what the fix is...

I am NOT saying the old fNW system was better, but it would probably be close to cost neutral. I don't think it would work well at DL because the reset window is always in June and is not a rolling period. It would also involve DL agreeing that pilots can use FMLA without modification of the law.

P.S. There are other items higher on my list, but a deal with the company on Virgin smells of scope concessions. Count me out.

Maybe a system where you get PB days if your credit is under 75 and then once you hit 75 hours credit you get 2X pay for a GS without the PB days would work. I understand the issue if you are not getting credit in return for PB days, but when you credit over 75 hours then get 1X pay for a GS it's just working on your day off instead of your regular reserve day for nothing extra.

nevermind ;(

And whatever you do, do NOT run it under a black light. No reason. Just don't do it.

I assume they will with another Major Airline order.....

What have you been doing on your deadheads, gloop?

You start the reserve month with 70 credit hours. So 5 hours of greenslip would terminate the payback day? The benefit of flying on days off on reserve is that you are getting paid in addition to the 70 credit hours.

There was a time when you did get 2X pay on reserve and if you flew on you days off, you got them paid back. That was the original rolling thunder. That lasted about 3-4 months.

The 5 hours of GS is pay only, NO CREDIT. Reserves on "rolling thunder" can make 30-50 hours of pay and earn 100+ hours of pay, but end up having little to no "credit" for the month.

i did that in december, basically only flew on my days off so the original days on ended up being days off and i got 134 hours pay. not bad for not losing any days off.

If you don't mind, what was your "credit" at the end of december?

make any sense?


res other sub ttl payback bank opt 1 ttl bank opt 1
credit guar guar credit neg bank awd credit limit
8:23 + 61:37 + 0:00 = 70:00 - 0:00 + 0:00 = 70:00 82:00

RES ASSIGN-G/SLIP PAY: 62:42

why?

Glad the covers are on the bed :eek:

any of you guys pulling GS's commute to DTW? How do you make that work? Aren't most the GS last minute?

Two question about nonrev priority. Well maybe one.

What airline is code AS in deltanet on nonrev list? Is it Alaska?

If it is alaska do they get a higher priority than DL pilots on ASA flights?

Thanks.

On what rquipment?

I believe it's ASA. I don't think Alaska can nonrev on us, except on an ID90/Zed.

If it's ASA, then yes, they travel as a higher priority on an ASA/Skywest flight. They would be S3 and we would be S3C. On other Connection carriers, they travel as S3C while we travel S3.

When priority levels were standardized among all the Connection carriers a few years ago, it included a exemption for ASA/Skywest, where their employees get higher priority on their own equipment. It's the only time when we (DL mainline) travel as an S3C instead of S3.

Pulling Old Schedules
 

I'm doing taxes and trying to get my layovers info together to figure out my per diem deduction. Is there any way to find this info in iCrew? I'm a lazy S0B and don't keep a logbook anymore, so I have no idea where I was. When I try to pull up rotations from, say last January, nothing shows up.

How do you guys do this? Am I screwed because I didn't keep a log?

There's got to be some record somewhere of where we flew last year.

Thanks

You know what I meant. You start the month with a 70 hour reserve guarantee which falls into the credit category. Your reserve guarantee gets reduced by actual credit when you fly a trip. I guess I should have said after flying 75 hours of actual credit then a GS gets 2X pay with no PB day. Again, a GS on reserve after flying 75 hours has no advantage to any of us and helps the company out on days they are short.

The hard way is to go to your timecard and print each month for last year. Then use that to access the "archived rotations" under the "Pre-flight" menu. I think you can get all rotations for last year that way.

The easy way is to get a flight time report from Flightline.com. The per deim info for your taxes will more than pay for the report ($50). It will include all trips by month as well as time away from base and amount of $$ that you can claim on your taxes based on IRS tables.:)

You can go to flightline.com or call them and order your "expense report," its $50.00 bucks but they put the whole thing together for you

Quick question. On the DALPA site, there used to be a seniority calculator that would tell your projected seniority for each year until you retire.

I can't find it anymore. Is it gone? Can someone point me to it?

Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks guys. $50 sounds like a deal at this point. I've been screwing around in iCrew for over an hour and have hardly gotten anywhere.
