If you don't have enough RES days remaining they *should* put the remainder in your Payback Bank, which is viewable on your timecard. This is a manual process, so you need to watch it and make sure they process it correctly - I have caught several mistakes before.

Once you have PB days in the bank, there are a variety of ways to use them to your advantage. Denny and I have posted some of the detailed methods to maximize their value (try the search box.) It all depends on what you're trying to do (ie more time off, more $, or more potential to make $ like opening your sked for more GS availability...)

Mutual agreement with the company basically means days you are wanting to use your PB days in a future month must have greater reserves available vs required - similar to a PD or X-day move.

Be sure to do your research wrt PB day strategies if it works out that way. Also check out the DALPA Scheduling Reference Handbook (see page 98) for a good explanation of how you can maximize the return on a PB day.

Veteran Delta pilots, help a new guy out here, please.

Any of you use the UFlyMike headset? Is it approved for use? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, LL. They gave me the PB days this month just as you said. :mad:

There's always a chance of a second geenie, I suppose.

Hey folks,
Traveling to England later this month with family. Kids are older, the youngest 13. Any must sees or logistical suggestions?

I hate sitting in the 757 jumpseat, when Captain Kangaroo refuses to inch the seat up even a tiny bit.
