e.g. If I finish sim training (not OE) on December 12th, then all of my hours credited for December are credited at the new rate.
Do I have that right?

How exactly are there 744 and 777 FO instructors who can't touch it senioritywise?
What happens when they "go back to the line?" How do they bid for a schedule they can't hold?

I think I remember him saying he bids on his flying month the same as everyone else and usually ended up on reserve. However, there are plenty of months on he 777 where you could build 6-7 more lines with the open time. So, he may get trips.

Perfect, thanks! This was very helpful. I am assuming (uh-oh!) that you are paid the hourly rate of the new equipment after you are "converted" (i.e. either the first of the month for training completed on or prior to the 16th or the first of the next month for training after 16th).
e.g. If I finish sim training (not OE) on December 12th, then all of my hours credited for December are credited at the new rate.
Do I have that right?

But in a nutshell, no. Your pay conversion date is listed on the training letter and has no relationship to when you finish sims or OE. It will start at the beginning of a month.
I flew with captain once who did nearly all of their OE on the 88 while still being paid at wb FO rates.
Bottom line the Alpa gouge tells you what you need to know to maximize your benefit and use of shadow bidding etc.

Has anybody used Deltacargo.com? I remember in indoc them telling us that once we were with the company over a year we got a fairly substantial discount on their services. I need to ship 4 or 5 boxes from SLC to DCA and was wondering if anybody has any experience. Thanks.

It is an incredibly good deal. For example, this spring, 6 medium size shipping boxes weighing a total of 250lbs from MSP-ABQ was $81 American. One of the last good employee deals out there.

I had an instructor in my last CQ who couldn't hold it. IIRC, he was instructing in some other plane and they needed instructors and asked him, or he volunteered.
