It has nothing to do with senior or junior. It has to do with the individuals.

Anybody hear any Saipan rumors? The LAX bid packets over the last few months show Guam layovers but only turns down to Saipan. Just wondering, not that that I can hold either one:D

Ferd,
The guys that fly the best trips are the most senior and the most junior. Of course the most junior only get them when the most senior are sick.:eek:

Maybe the reason that it's less fun is not because the captains are more senior, but because you are. ;)

God, I love this thread. Can you imagine if we were ever able to put together an L&G convention somewhere. The hijinx and shenanigans would be epic.:D

Question for the savvy NYC commuters. I know how to get between JFK-LGA. How do you go about getting from LGA-EWR and vice versa and between JFK-EWR and vice versa. I know heavy train use is involved, some more detail will be helpful.

Also I know the short call out is approx. 2 hours. I could stay about an hour east of JFK and 1:15 from LGA. Is that acceptable or do I need to be able to get to EWR within the 2 hours as well.

From DeltaNet, select IFS from the 'Departments' tab. From there select IFS bases. Select NYC. From there you will see the Crew Runner schedule. As mentioned, it is $2. The downside is that pilots are the last to board. The upside is there are very few crew members going from LGA to EWR. The next best option is to take the Airporter. It is a bus that goes between JFK, LGA and EWR. Cost I believe is $12. Otherwise you're taking the Subway to Grand Central, then the LIR to Jersey and then the Air train. It's all available from Google maps. I've done all 3.

Pay question: I had a recent turn with a scheduled block of 7.55. We flew it in 7.36 but I was paid 7.41. Aren't I due the original block time of 7.55 for pay?

I know it's only a difference of 14 minutes but it's part principle and part education.

Thanks 370. Odd that an automated system would err like this. I suppose I'll be watching my time card like a hawk.

Called Scheduling...they say the "Master Pay Document" showed 7.35. I checked the Bid Package; it shows 7.35 as well.

The scheduler didn't know why my rotation at check-in showed 7.55 but that rotations pay to the originally published time and only more if it goes over that.

Well, color me educated. Gotta refer to the bid package time vs. the block time on your rotation...
