Thanks, I checked out APMEX and Gold Dealer. I'll look at the others.

Do any of your friends include bonus money or profit sharing in the amount they get paid? I ask my friends in other industries what they make and they always tell me that bonus money and profit sharing is not considered income. Why should we be any different?
So if you earned $1 million in PS you wouldn't consider that income? The IRS would beg to differ.

Brocc,
I'd answer you, but then I'd be wrong and get called out for it.

It's been awhile (hear that Boomer), but you use your delta email account and somehow it links with the airline apps. I think you have to give your dal email to the person you are recommending, and they input it somewhere on air app, then you get a template that is the rec letter to dal and air apps...if memory serves.

No matter how well intentioned, procedures and callouts need to be streamlined to make compliance achievable. If they are so numerous that even pilots who want to comply can't get it all correct, it can lead to people throwing up their hands in frustration and stop even trying to comply.

If the average line pilot can't get the procedures and callouts correct on a line check, it's probably not the fault of the line pilot.

Unfortunately, so can DALPA.

Yes I would. That isn't the point. When you ask them how much they make they say $100,000. They don't say $100,000 plus $15,000 in profit sharing and $1,200 in bonus money like we are being conditioned to do. They just don't include those amounts in their compensation package when they figure what they make even though they pay taxes on it.

Why should we all be trained to figure our hourly rates should be less because we get profit sharing?

Sure seems like we're getting overly "cautious" and slipping to a VERY rigid cockpit. S acronym's anyone

Two questions folks:

1). What is the QCQ minimum pay? I thought I heard 2 hours but it only shows 1 hour on my pay stub.

2). How come whenever I try and backdoor it asks me for a username and password? Does that mean it isn't ready or am I in the wrong screen.

Thanks.
