So if you have a line worth 80 hours... Then 40 hours will be paid on the end of the month check regardless if 40 hours were flown during those first two weeks of the month or not?

If the reserve guarantee for your category in April is 75 hours, your 4/28 check would be 37.5 hours.

If you credited 80 hours for April, your 5/15 check will be 37.5 + 5 = 42.5 hours plus your per diem for April.

The end of month paycheck is an ADVANCE, thus the FLT ADV code.

The middle month paycheck is paid in arears, thus the FLT PAY code.

ALV - 2 is reserve guarantee. Look closer at my example. I never mention ALV.

PWA 3.G.1 - "An end-of-month (EOM) partial payment on the last business day of the corresponding calendar month in the amount of one-half of the reserve guarantee at his composite hourly pay rate as of the date of the payment"

New Hire Pilot Guide - Page 18 under the definition of Paid in Advance - "You are paid a flight advance for ½ of the current bid period's reserve line guarantee at your composite hourly rate on the last day of the current month."

I've done the math quite a few times so I can verify these statements above.

Of note, the EOM Check uses the lesser rate of your fleet if yours have multiple pay rates for different size aircraft so use it in figuring the math.

Why come there is no 717 on the Hotel MEC survey, I'm feeling under appreciated? Then again, if we cut out those pesky hotel drives and sleep on the plane we could probably fit a 6th leg in.

It appears we are once again part of the DAL family.

Pay question. Moving right to left on maddog (may God have mercy on my soul), 44x last week, converting 2 May. When do I start getting paid 88A?

I assumed (mistake) that 28 April check, being an advance, would be at 88A rates. Sadly, it was still 88B. Mid month May will be for latter half of April, so I'd expect that to be 88B as well.

So, uh, mid June?

Any help managing my expectations would be appreciated.

The term advance is not really correct since you have performed the work. It goes back to the days when you got a very small advance at the end of the month and most of the pay on the 15th.
