Ok doughnut boys (where did this DPA nickname come from?)
Just wanting to give Jerry and Carl some love........and no I still haven't sent in a card........ Tina Fey, Brian Regan and Sarah Silverman "Donuts" Single Shot - Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee by Jerry Seinfeld Ferd I think they set up an information table in the ATL lounge a few years back (Wow, has it been that long) trying to get guys to fill out cards and they had a few boxes of doughnuts out for passersby. I guess pizza gets you 2% but doughnuts gets you ridicule. Disclaimer: I am not a DPA supporter, but without a healthy C2015, I can't guarantee that I'll be a DALPA supporter either. |

That can only be partially true at best. Even if he did exactly that, that would be an Inverse Assignment with Conflict, which would pay pay and credit for the trip dropped, and pay/no credit for the trip flown. Still a great deal, but not triple pay.
Doesn't Inverse Assignment pay 200% on days off? |

I've got a 49 hour layover in AMS next week. Anyone ever took the train over to Bastogne for the day? Plan B is maybe a "bridge too far/hells highway" kind of thing if Bastogne is too hard to do.
Thanks, Fred |

Tina Fey, Brian Regan and Sarah Silverman "Donuts" Single Shot - Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee by Jerry Seinfeld Ferd I think that it arose out of necessity to talk about them on the former dALPA website forums. If you typed in "DPA", the bot would star it out (***). But they couldn't very well set doughnuts to be excluded. I could be wrong though. |
Saw a snippet of an article that says the EX-IM bank funding is being piggy-backed (typical cowardly/politician act) in the House bill providing support for syrian rebels/fight against isis.
May be a good time to make more phone calls or letters. |

I probably screwed up the story anyway.

A GS only pays double if all the rest of your flying has made it to the GS trigger. That is the least the company can do when they IA you, which is forcing you to fly on days off when you didn't volunteer to do so. |

Knowing ahead of time how we feel about them gives the MEC and NC data on how to respond. Now we're asking the question again until we get the answer we want? Who wants?
