Default Blind Swap Icrew

Sorry for the brief change of subject, but does anyone know if there is a blind swap function on Icrew? Or do I need Widget Works? Thanks "accidental first time block holder"

Okay, how do I bid Christmas off "or else reserve with Christmas off, or else a regular line?"

I'm assuming "or else next bid group" is the function, and after reserve the "next bid group" goes down to any regular line (ie: Start Pairings.)

In the current bid group, the last command needs to be clear schedule, start next bid group....then start the next bid group. If you don't do the CSSN command, it will stay in that bid group and eventually start unstacking you into a trip over Xmas. This is one of those "ask me how I know."

Does anyone know if we are entitled to any sort of "free" financial discussion with the Fidelity folks in regards to our DPSP accounts? Some guys I've flown with said they've had people manage their accounts at fidelity. I'm not sure I want it managed for me, but wouldn't mind a consultation.

GS Trigger question:

I am one hour below the GS trigger and was awarded a GS. The pay for the trip equals 10:30 in the activity section of time card and the GS pay part shows 9:30.

I believe this means I will only receive 20 hours of "total" pay instead of the 21? I understand I can use my bank but I am negative 30, so thats Moot.

Just want to make sure I get "some" of the GS pay, instead of nothing until I hit the GS trigger. Thinking it's a equal reduction in GS pay for each hour underneath the trigger….

experts?

It's also completely spineless for Delta to roll over for the loony low-info crowd by instituting this policy to begin with.

I'm curious to hear what our resident legal big brains think... Thx
If you want I can pull the pleadings and tell you what violations they are arguing. My guess the first is a breach of contract that the 350K guy was either on safari when they put the rule in place or had already bought his tickets and made arrangements to transport the trophy home before they put this in place. That is not uncommon when companies enact immediate reactionary polices based on facts solely gathered from CNN/Fox News reports.

You will receive 1 hour pay and credit to get you to the trigger. The rest will be double pay/no credit (the remaining 9.5 hours).

So you are correct. Also, don't forget that GS accounting is not done until the end of the month. You have until then to WS, swap with the pot, or get a swapboard transaction to add time to your month. Then your entire GS will pay double.

I knew guys awhile back who would start the month with zero (easier to do in our old line of time system). They would then get a high time GS to start the month, then spend the rest of it WSing easy turns, etc up to the GS trigger.

Yep just put *then the number of days of the trip you want, if you hit F5 or help on the bottom of the page it will explain wildcard swaps which is what they are called.

boog, you have the option of borrowing up to 5 hours from the bank to reach g/s trigger. You can even go 5 hours negative to achieve this.

He said he's already -30 in the bank, so he can't pull anymore from it.
