Without those two things, we'll all just take what Richard is willing to give and not a penny more.

Oh. That Palestinian and Israeli one was mine. Someone gave that to me and I sported it. Unfortunately, I didn't have more than one.

Fish with feet? No way! Or, at least I should say, I don't remember. That was a long time ago.

Good Question. You can easily figure the number of X days from the charts in the bid package but how/where do we figure pay above the guarantee with vacation?

For example with two weeks in July and a 80 hour guarantee how do you figure the adjusted guarantee?

I've got a copy of an Excel spreadsheet that I think a DTW captain made. You just fill it out and it will tell you exactly what you get for vacation, training etc. It works great. Let me know your email if you want a copy and I'll send you one.

Tsquare, are you really accusing someone else of being a bully? or are you just looking in the mirror, and describing the management puppet with the shiny LCA lanyard you see there?

standing by for more of your indignant, whiny histrionics; bullying; and/or another character assassination in 3...2....1...

Yeah. He does A LOT of other stuff that allows you to tie your flight plan into your tablet etc. Waaaayyyy to technical for me but it looked pretty cool when the ops guy in MSP showed it to me once.
