If you were on LC in the same scenario, the trip would be coded as an "F" if it was a GS with less than 12 hours to report. In that case, you'd get 4 days pay above guarantee, one day of credit (I think), and 3 PB days as day one would be a RES day.
Is that only if the day following on call status is a golden day? They can always fly you into a X day if you have adequate rest and not pay you a dime extra.

Sorry, once you hit the $18,000 limit (2015) for elective employee deferrals, you are done. You will receive it as ordinary income. I looked into this last year when we received an 'Advance' on our Profit Sharing in October. I believe that shortly after we voted the TA down, the company announced to the other employee groups that they would not be doing an 'advance' check this year.....perhaps they are hoping that they can still get us to reduce PS before they decide to write next year's checks.

Not in the sense I think you mean it--the $18K refers to the "elective deferral" limit, i.e., the amount you can "elect" to put in as pre-tax ("defer"). There's no distinction between regular pay vs PS so far as the elective deferral is concerned (and, no difference on your final tax bill, either, though you may see a larger or smaller hit in the specific pay period(s) involved).

The DPSP contribution (15% "company" contribution) will still go in, pre-tax, until the total for the year hits the $53K overall limit.

If your goal is to get as much into the account as possible, you can still make 401(a) contributions (after tax), without regard to the elective deferral limit (up to the same $53K limit)--I don't know if it's possible to do so from the PS, though.

Find the chart with the prices on DeltaNet/TravelNet/Leisure Travel/Interline Travel, then click on Other Airline Travel. Click on Delta / Virgin Atlantic JV chart.

The prices are very cheap, flat rate for international (have to add taxes to the price listed I imagine)

Out of England, esp lhr, it's the taxes that will surprise you. Not the zed fees.

Maybe fleet dependent...on the 73N it works like you said, ACARS updates which pilot did the T.O/Landing, but does not update autolands or HUD T.O/Landing data...that must be updated on DBMS.

Just so there's no question about 401k stuff...

Delta will put 15% into your account until you reach an income of $265,000, then ALL the Delta money comes to you as regular pay, TAXED! That's $39,750............

You are allowed to contribute up to the max of $53,000 using $18,000 of your own money but IF you max out the Delta $$ you cannot reach the $18,000 limit, UNLESS, you're over 50, when you can contribute an extra $6000 up to $59K....

All totaled, you can't max out the Delta money and the 18k and the 6k because it's too much! (IF you earn >265k)

If you don't care about "tax free" money, then put the $18k in from your PS check in February, and the Delta money will stop at $35,000, and you'll pay taxes on the $4,750.....

Yeah, I got the heads up on that. Does anyone know if our layover hotel gives us a deal?
