Where do we find such men?

It's truly amazing to me.

Thanks for the head's up.

Yesterday the font on my Surface inexplicably went from right size to I need a magnifying glass.
Anyone had this happen, know how to fix it, and can explain such fix to a technological dummy?

You'd do well to listen to Timbo. He's got a town of life experience and he's trying to make this a better career for all of us. He is a great guy.

Looking over your post history, I'd say that "smartest guy in the room" label fits you much better.

Thanks for the love PD, I just want to restore this profession's pay/benefits to the ones I signed up for, and that was when Delta earned $350 million per year and thought that was HUGE!

Now they are earning north of $6 Billion, and we are still living with concessions forced on us in bankruptcy, while management is using OUR MONEY to buy back $6 Billion in stock, to enrich themselves.

When are we going to stand up and say, "ENOUGH!" ?

The time for full restoration is right now, BEFORE the next billion dollar stock buyback.

Yes. From the START page, sweep in from the right side.
Go to SETTINGS.
Click on "Change PC settings." (This is the same sequence to get to "Update and recovery."
At the top of the menu, click on "PC and devices."
Click on "Display."
Set the resolution to 1920X1080 and apply.

Good luck.

Thanks a bunch!
Your wish of luck upon me was the most helpful: when I opened it to do as you said, it had fixed itself. Stupid device must be possessed.

Does a 75 hour cap hold everyone at 75 hours credit max?

LGA drivers: "Valet parking" effective June. YGSM!! Seriously? We're handing our keys over and going on a 3+day trip? What could possibly go wrong?

Seriously? Timbo is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this forum. And every so often he even posts something that passes as humor. :D

We all benefit when 30+ year career Pilots weigh in with their knowledge and experience.

No one says you have to agree with Timbo - if you disagree feel free to engage and point out where he is wrong.

You will achieve much more credibility on these forums with the above approach then with snarky comments.

Not exactly sure of what you are referring to. There are many ways to institute a "Cap." I was not at DAL back when they had a cap but I will take a crack at how I understood it worked. Hopefully one of our elder statesman types can chime in and correct anything below that is incorrect and add to it.

You could credit more than 75 hours but you were only paid for 75 hours.
Any credit above 75 went into a bank system (Bowwave) that would apply to the next/future months.

Not sure how premium flying was paid under this system.
