Is not a hard plastic, very soft. Everyone will like it.

If you could help a new guy, I can't find this anywhere in the PWA. I went to 2nd year pay this month on the 18th. I flew one 4-day trip prior to the 18th worth 23:31 and have 4 trips after the 18th worth 65:46 total. If I bank hours this month, where do they come from and on what year pay are they banked at? Appreciate any wisdom.

They are just hours. You can put them in as an -88 f/o. You can take them out when you are a 777A. Pay will be whatever you are when you cash them out.

That makes sense then. I guess I was comparing it to banking hours these past few months on first year pay and cashing them in on higher pay later. Thanks for setting me straight. Cheers!

I'm in a similar situation. What will his pay be this month if he banks 5 hours? Will he be paid (18:31 * $70) + (65:46 * $111), or will he be paid (23:31 * $70) + (60:46 * $111), or will it be proportionally blended between the two?

Interesting twist. Hadn't even thought about that...

Flying is important. But grammar is importanter. I guess that's what I was trying to say. How does the current paycheck look if I bank hours on mixed pay scales? Thanks for clarifying my question.

Hours are added to the bank when the month closes. You cannot designate which trip you want the hours taken from. As such, I'd venture to guess that you will get 5 hours less of 2nd year pay.

The last post should have a kitten, a bunny, a honey badger and cheerleader underboob.

NYC co-terminal reserve question
 

I have a relative who lives in NJ, 20 minutes from EWR and they have offered to let me crash with them free of charge. Is that kosher when on reserve covering EWR/LGA/JFK on the 88?
