I have one more question guys. I am on reserve this month. I started out with 3 days of carry over from a trip for which i had to call in sick. My monthly guarantee was 72:0 hours around the end of the first week of this month. Then, I happened to pick up a G/S on days off worth 19:02 hours. My landing currency (for the first time ever) will probably lapse at the end of this month, and the company scheduled me for simulator bounces on the 27th, worth 3:15. Some how, my monthly projection went DOWN to 69:36, which puts me below the g/s trigger of 72:00. Any ideas on how I lost 2.4 hours of pay? The only activity I've had is that of my currency issue, but I fail to see how that might reduce my projected monthly guarantee….Much thanks.

Thanks for all the Surface information!

March Madness is upon us.
I'm not an Oregon fan. But I hope they do well.
I don't know why. Maybe its their uniforms.

Don't have time to reference the contract so this is a wag. Take it for what it's worth. They dropped one day of reserve for the bounces in the sim. They will pay you 3:30 for that training day but it's pay not credit. GS trigger should only apply if your a regular line. You should see 69:36 for the reserve guarantee plus 19:02 on top of that and 3:30 for the sim. Total of 93:38. If there is doubt on the GS trigger take 2:24 minutes out of the bank to make sure you hit it. I don't think that is required.

Chuck,

The GS trigger is for line holders only and does not apply if you are on reserve. Reserve GS pay is straight pay above the guarantee.

FWIW - If you have a line and are below the GS trigger with a GS you can make a bank withdrawal and apply up to 5 hours of that to meet the trigger. If you are more than 5 below the trigger I would then try a WS to meet the trigger.

Scoop

I think the mentor program is a great idea. How well it actually works seems to vary. Mine hadn't sat reserve in years and understandably wasn't that smart on it anymore. Bigger picture, it seemed weird to reach out to a complete stranger. Reaching out to a collection of complete strangers on here is somehow easier. And I find a lot of great info here.

Where or where is Tsquare when you need him? He may actually know her...

Anyone remember where/when it was written/changed about the NYC overnight hotels/layover times? It used to be greater than 12 hours and you were downtown.... it was changed to 15 hrs for NYC but can't find it anywhere... and the search function on the tables works so "well". Got into a "discussion" yesterday with crew tracking and crew accommodations. Crew accommodations refused to do anything until crew tracking changed our rotation to reflect our new layover time... after a 6 hour sit in Vegas waiting on ATC delays into JFK. Accommodations stated that we had to have a layover less than 13:30 to stay at the Airport, Crew tracking stated it was 12 hours. He went on to say that.... you guys wanted a contract, you negotiated one and it says 12 hours. Boom, end of discussion. Took every ounce of willpower I had not to go off on him. Instead my reply was...OK, I will not extend my duty day... if we go one minute over 14 hours we will do a gate return. It's in my contract. :mad:

Tsquare will probably come back after C2015 is finished.
