I use the Pro Diem folks. Their website is a mangled mess (way too many colors, references to Windows Vista, but not Win 7 or 8!) but the end result product is quite good, and one of their attachments will give you an entire year's summary of your flying.

Man with all those green slips I did and with record profits, My check was double to what I'm used to getting.
I say heck NO to giving up our profit sharing for a raise. This is our bonus. Management doesn't factor there bonus into their raise/salary.

Carl. BLUF - no. And I asked the Union and Co. A buddy said should have expensed it but I wanted to be done with ATL for a bit.

I spoke with USERRA ombudsmen via the ESGE/USERRA site. What they did was legal but stretching it a bit....so it was logged and they had to answer the mail on it.

Deltanet sure is slow today with everyone looking at their ps check. Was just now able to backdoor my March award on the crew resources page by changing the pdf url. Does anyone else notice that all the monthly awards are posted in icrew right away, then pulled out. I saw that yesterday, by pulling up specific March rotations the A positions had all been filled. I've seen that phenomenon in past months as well.

Having worked in PBS a few years ago, I can explain why that is so. After the bid runs are complete the company assigns all the trips in DBMS to the awarded pilots, as determined by the PBS software. Then the company does an FAR legality check from within DBMS and makes sure that the PBS software did not miss anything. 99.9% of the time the two systems are in agreement and the schedules are then released. Every blue moon some software hiccup occurs and the company determines that the PBS software missed something: new FAA interpretation of an obscure sub-section, new contractual side letter that did not get fully reprogrammed, etc. Then you might see a particular category's result get pulled, the software updated to properly reflect the new information, and the category rerun.

So they brought us 4833, ALV+15, reduced profit sharing, sick leave verification, 7 short calls--and the negotiating committee went rogue to finish the "deal." We bailed out the company's 50-seat crisis. ALPA also promised 300 early-outs which never materialized, and stated that we'd never see the "3-3" part of the deal. Don't forget, hiring took a year longer than implied.

We gave up (?) in return for airplanes the company was going to get anyway.

To top it off, we were assaulted with a slick marketing campaign featuring multi-media doses of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Paid for with our dues money.

Meanwhile, the company is ignoring our JV protections, and the "union" is silent.

The good news is, "labor risk is off the table" for RA, and "our" "union" president gave a national interview saying we only wanted raises in the "margin" for C2015 because we have a "mature contract." Good times.

Oh, and the survey results were never released.

Thanks. Not interested in paying for another 3rd party solution. If there isn't a 1 button solution on deltanet, how about a 100 button solution? I can't even figure out how to look at my rotations from December.

Spend the money (about $60) for Pro-Diem. They will get you a full print out of your yearly schedule with the max allowable deduction for each layover. By the time you spend the time trying to download your schedule and your accountant calculates the allowable deductions, it is money well spent. Just my experience.
