Whoa, that is varsity level shizzle. Thanks, I'm going to give that a try.

Whatnif you have to check bags? No issue with that?

I still can't believe how the Cajuns came from Nova Scotia.

If they had to go through a security line and then stand by, they wouldn't have come at all. :(

The line at MDW SW check-in was 80 deep this morning.... did I mention it was 3 AM? Looks like F16 Mike is stuck in ATL.

Just the portion paid above what you flew should pay at the higher rate. Rotations flown will pay at the applicable rate for the aircraft flown. So basically, every time you get used and it's not on a 321, you are losing money.

I would think that the portion paid as reserve guarantee should pay as 737-900 pay if your base has 900's in the bid package.

Ref PWA section 4.C.1.c:

"The hourly rate of the highest paying aircraft model that all pilots in his category may be required to fly in the bid period"

Looooooong O and maybe it's spelled ay? Think a cross between Great White North and Fargo.

After reading the contract it looks like for the portion you fly you are paid at a weighted amount based on how many 321's are on property. So with only 2 on property that is not going to help much.

That's not what I read at all. First off, the portion that you fly is paid the rate of whatever equiptment you actually fly. It is the part that is paid as guarantee that I feel should pay the higher rate due to what I quoted earlier out of section 4 of the PWA. The only place I have seen any blended rate mentioned was in determining hourly rate for vacation pay. I have not seen anything in the PWA that referenced number of airframes for payrate.

This should not be hard to figure out, any 73N reserve that did not break guarantee should be able to look at their pay in icrew and see what is being done.
