Spending 56 minutes behind the controls at 30,000 feet is the equivalent of 20 minutes on a sunbed, the University of California has found

Airline pilots often boast enviable tans, but it may not be from the exotic locations that they travel between, but from spending too much time in the cockpit, research suggests

If the profit is over 2.5 billion it's 1.8 to 1.9%. If the profit is less then 2.5 billion the number becomes less. It was traded for a 2% raise. In dollars if the profit is over 2.5 billion the profit sharing pool is reduced by 125 million.

It doesn't matter if you are Mil or Civ, either way you take a pay hit when you drop reserve days. And you are giving the worst advice ever....going negative in the bank while on 1st year pay. I did the opposite and banked 30 hours on 1st year pay. DO NOT go negative in the bank on 1st year pay newbies.

Default NYC A330 and SEA 737 open to bid in Deltanet

Looks like those categories are now open to bid in anticipation of the first Jan 2015 AE. My guess AE is posted Jan 2nd.

That is all.

Regarding Heiko, I don't recall a single post from DPA ever criticizing him. He was a relatively new guy there anyway.

Heiko was a negotiator for C2012. He ran for Neg Comm Chairman after C2012 at the regular election and was not elected (I'm guessing this is the post C2012 "purge" you are referring to where King became king and the Neg Comm was reduced to 3 members with Nevins joining Scrappy and Coons). In the most recent pre-section 6 election he was elected once again as a member of the committee. I personally don't feel it's accurate to refer to him as "new" to the committee. With the exception of a tiny sabbatical, he has been on the Neg Comm since the pre-section 6 election going into C2012 which is almost as long as the DPA has been in existence. Morgado on the other hand is on the Neg Comm for the first time.

Prior to all that, Heiko had an extensive background in the Scheduling arena where he served as Chairman of the committee with Scrappy as his vice. He was the Scheduling committee vice-chairman prior to that under Kim Welch back when we got Letter 46 in December 2004 and PBS was subsequently negotiated and implemented. With some short gaps, he has been doing ALPA work for the better part of 10 years at least.

If it's true that he quit, I think that is unfortunate.

Ha! He made the only move that could have been made. Sit tight and see if you can avoid trouble.

IMO Heiko was forced out so the usual suspects can get someone more cooperative.

Yeah, that's what I always try to do.....

You did not answer my question. Are you talking about the percentage of profit sharing that was monetized in C2012? If so, then what I was saying is the monetized amount of profit sharing from C2012 is already known and it is 2%. It would never be more than 2 percent and could be less. We received that 2 percent as part of the 8 percent we got on January 1 of a couple years ago.
