That's correct.
You avoid income tax but they deduct Social Security, ALPA and also DPMA.
That's the reason I use 90% instead of 100%.
If you tell Fidelity 100%, then all those deductions come out of your next check.
Not a big deal unless you have some other pre-arranged deductions or budgeting issues.

The -200's all have a dual pilot/FA crew rest facility in the very back of the aircraft down in the cargo compartment. The FA's are on one side and the pilots are on the other. The -300's all have a seat, 9A (it SUCKS) I think. With the FAR 117 agreement, the -300's will all eventually get bunks.
As far as your second question goes.........what is your seniority!?! And where do you want to bid it?
Denny
Check your PM's.

I was thinking of getting the A line a box of Busken cookies and seeing what happens. Im worried the gate agent might frown upon the request as the tix we bought are Fly confirmed for less. Sometimes the agents aren't real big fans of the pilot group.
We really don't care so much about the food and all. Just looking for a bigger seat so we can get some sleep!

AE Bid just closed. As I vacillated between the school house, a reduction in hourly rates, probability of coverage awards, maybe a weekend off, or a conjugal visit on a 30+ hour productivity sit, as I looked at all my friends' schedules, it struck me ....

I just wish someone from Dalpa would check the insane reroutes occasionally!
Tracking just this week changed the rotations of not less than 8 crewmembers thru reroute just to get a maint. ferry to ATL, when it would have been simple to just DH 2 crew to fly the flight back!

They can't do anything about it, it's a regional shortage. Delta can't spend money to train someone at Skywest, and then two weeks later said person is flying for UAL. Ab-intio only works if the pilot is going to mainline.
This is why I say the clock is ticking on DCI, as these other carriers besides 9E, have to choose which contracts they want to cover. Since the ASA's with Delta are written in favor of DAL, they will be dropped first.

First of all DL wouldn't be spending anything to train someone. They would be spending it themselves. We will likely see the sector adopt retention bonuses and training contracts in many forms, including "tuition forgiveness" and "scholarships". My point about flight academies was to mention the lack of action going on at the supply end of things for the regionals. That has to be addressed, regardless of how this all shapes out.
I still don't see your version of a connectionless DL while all the other savvy majors scoop up all the ACMI lift as anything remotely close to reality.

Yes they can. Quite easily actually.
They can't circumvent scope and merger/fragmentation language in a CBA. DL and NW's scope and merger language mandated an eventual merger with arbitration if it couldn't be agreed upon.
If you are attempting to drag AT into this, they were operating under a vastly inferior NPA contract that wasn't nearly as strong. That was what enabled the end result and what provided the leverage of uncertainty that was used against the AT pilots. But to imply management holds all the cards and can always do whatever they want is completely false.

I would not recommend trying to list and activate yourself as a non rev on a flight you are operating as a working crewmember in an attempt to boost someone else's boarding priority. That is a huge no-no.
