Anyone who espouses anything different, IMO, is trying to cloud the issue. The 2010 resolution is irrelevant. Again IMO.

But usually this board is better. For some crazy reason people take better care of their Avitars than their real ID.

But, it's good that there is a forum for DL pilots that isn't moderated by BH and RW.

The interesting thing is that the LOA was actually worth 2 million less to us in the end without the SDPs since they paid so much, so it was logical the company said "yeah, sure, pull em" so easily.

With or without seeing the math... think about it. 7.5 hours of pay every time (with some of that being in the premium column) for a maximum of 4 hours of flying. I'd say it's a very logical conclusion.

The first number I heard was $38m. Someone added a 1 to yours.

Some modelling was done. Again, I think these things would have gone senior. I do not know what base / equipment you are but I'd been all over these at 400.1 to 500nm of a hub.
