Not sure if the plan is the same, but son in the AF has MetLife Dental and they have a 1500 max pay out per year per dependents...doesn't go far if you need root canals and caps

I know this has been posted before but I can't find it. I have CQ next month, normally I'm a line holder, but am contemplating bidding reserve. What are the benefits of that? I'd probably be top 5 reserve guy. How many days on call will I have to sit and how much credit assuming a 72 hour reserve guarantee? This would be for next month so I guess it's now a 31 day month. Thanks for the help in advance!

By how many did they reduce it? Did 320 and 7ER in SLC stay the same size?

They won't backfill up to 15 on the 73N between SLC and CVG. ER stayed the same, adding 10 320 FO's.

I knew I liked you. Go Frogs. But really who would you leave out? Undefeated acc champ? sec champ? Or one of the two now in the championship game? Tough call.. I see that has been talked about already. How can Atlanta ER have more pilots required in the last 3 AEs than DTW has total?

Delta is supposed to do 50 percent of the flying in its transatlantic partnership with Air France-KLM Group and Alitalia SpA. It likely will come up short of that goal by a March deadline, in violation of its pilots agreement, Dominguez said."

As Tsquare would say....Lulz.

Can someone explain to me this quote below:

"The pilot deal would let Virgin add eight more wide-bodies to its current 38, according to its website, after which Delta would have to maintain about three times as much international capacity as the U.K. airline", Dominguez said

How do we maintain our current percent of flying at a heavily slot controlled airport (ie no more slots for additional flights...the reason given for buying a 49% stake in Virgin) while green lighting 8 more widebodies to Virgin?
Who cares about any of that Ed. There's a new AE out!

Oh you funny Ohio State fans. Dress up Nicks statue with osu gear and then do the ymca pose.

Auburn did that once with Cams jersey on Bears statue.

And then we met Harvey. Meet Harvey Buckeye fans.

Maybe it's me just coming to acceptance of what happened to my Noles last night, but I've looked at the way this AE was issued from several angles. The first was a bit upset at the contingency vacancies- however I think this is actually a decent trend of more transparency on how they plan on backfilling.

Anyone else come to similar conclusions?

Yeah that is basically what I've figured as well. I think it will create some good movement. The West coast bonanza we were all hoping for in SLC as they sucked a ton of guys to SEA is tempered a little with the not backfilling on the 73N, but the widebody positions available will create some good movement. Good to see only 10 747A displacements vs. 20.
