No changes to scope. APA held the line on it. Although we are currently adding a ton of 76 seaters (similar to your scope) that we had to cave to during bk.

This round, management created rumors of wanting 81 seats on E175s (adding 5 more)... they started talking about it months ago to wind everyone up and it worked. APA and everyone have now realized it was a red herring to make up manufactured negotiating capital. Management pulled it off the table right away.

Do we even have a 321 pay-rate yet?

I know we talked about this last year, in the beginning of the year but I can't get the above search function to go past August.

What are the TAX Services folks have used to calculate the correct per diem?

Does this new AA agreement include that?

I know from talking to a couple of my friends at AA that was a really big issue in Bankruptcy but I haven't heard much about it lately.

I did that last night and it worked. Remember the IT Gods have decreed that we shall have a single unified password that will work for all DAL IT applications.........................except PBS. Double check your password.

Anyone have a link where I can download the DA for PBS.
I uninstalled the DA and I am trying to download it but cannot find a working link for it.

Don't know about the desktop version, but web PBS just died in the middle of my bid. I saved it a few lines prior to the end, but lost a bit of work. Took some screenshots before I logged off, and now when I log back in it says "no data has been loaded for the current period."

Plenty other stuff to do - I'll give it a couple hours before I call support.
