I think we're all thinking that. I am guessing most of us are trying not to speculate.

The people in the Delta Museum are all so skinny.

They should get an old CRJ200 out of IRK and cover it with foam and put it in the museum as a kiddie jumping playground attraction.

I am pleased to see them bring a 757 around to the side of the building.

Remember that when you brief your FAs. WE have to win every time. THEY only have to win once.

Always be vigilant.

That is correct however you can pull 5 hours out of the bank even if you have to go negative toward the GS trigger.

Good time to ask a question I've always wondered:

What if you fly a trip later in the month that would carry you above the trigger? Do you get GS pay for the earlier GS trip?

Now for some good time laughter.
 
Ok all you hockey's fans. As a time honored tradition the Minnesota State HS boys Hockey tournament is just wrapping up. A annual tradition is the annual all hockey Hair Team. Watch this clip and tell me your favorite. I like the side pipes at the 4 minute mark.

My understanding of your question is that you got a GS early in the month, but were below the GS trigger. Later in the month you white slip a trip to get you above the trigger (not including the GS). Yes, the early GS is now a double pay trip rather than single pay.

See herkflyer's post above.

Tremendous...however, let us not forget that Minnesota HS hockey runs a close second to Massachusetts HS hockey where we (yes, I'm wicked old) endeavored to model our hair, and our games, after those of my avatar...(I concede that he is a Canadian by birth; but he is a Bostonian at heart)...

Thanks scambo. I missed Herks post. That answered it all.

Yes it does. Also any over block counts toward the trigger too. It runs realtime on your time card.

Nope... he retired of the MD-11 and never looked back. I did get him a few hours in a J-3 a few years ago and he got into Civil Air Patrol for a little while, but he never did the DGS thing.
