Finally, looks like Juno didn't deliver what was promised or hoped ... Hmm, interesting ...
New York just wanted to show us all how it's done.




And for that, Juno delivered.

Have fun..
I second the Solitude recommendation. Great ski school too. All my kids have learned there. We usually rent a car, stay down in SLC somewhere and drive up in the am.

Ugh. Here we go again.



Per capita? Does that include the gate agents, mechanics, etc. Part time rampers?

You still have a little make-up, right there.

Profit sharing IS a concession. It gives management degrees of freedom to dork things up with fewer consequences (read, dollars) allocated to the pilot payroll line. Refinery, anyone? Sometimes the bet pays off and the pilots get some scratch. Sometimes the bet does not pay off, and the pilots realize they would have rather had management-proof monetization of said profit sharing. W-2 is king. Give it to me with as few variables as possible. Mitigate management risk.

Profit sharing should be per capita. A guy shouldn't have to move to base and give his life away to bring home the bank from effective corporate management. If I fly my line according to the contract, I contributed just as much as a guy who has no non-flying life or, through no fault of his own, is senior and never met a green slip he didn't like. One could argue a guy flying at straight pay contributes more to corporate profitability than a green slipper. One could argue that--and they'd be right 100% of the time.

Nurse your wounded feelings Mr. Infraction Hander-outer. The Joker has this one right. In fact, one would be wise to ponder a few of his other points. If you don't like the delivery, be high-minded and consider the message. That's what thinkers do...

The foregoing is my opinion (too). Hopefully this post won't be banned for non-compliance to Clamp-think.
He is back with a new name!
One thing you forget in your discussion is the company maintains that green slips save them money and add to corporate profits. Without them the company would probably have to hire 2000 more pilots which would dilute the profit sharing for everyone and reduce the profit itself.

As for PS being paid off W2 and not "per capita" as you and someone else pointed out... the money earned from GS is valuable to the company, otherwise they wouldn't of put the trip out via GS. I would say that the company is plenty happy to pay PS on GS pay - it might of saved them a cancellation or delay that would of cost them even more money.

If my rotation was "23K" with "no recovery obligation", can I now WS or GS on those days I was originally scheduled for?

I can't see a cruise ship ever going to Anegada, there's just nothing much on the island to support them, not even enough lobster around to feed them. The Anegada Reef Hotel actually sources their lobster from elsewhere during peak periods (spring regatta, etc). And of course the fact that anything drafting more than six feet usually spends some time pushing sand around the anchorage!

To the OP, try to get over to the Anegada Beach Club on the north side of the island. Neat secluded spot, they'll pick you up in their 4x4.
