Pertaining to duty periods, I don't see where it mentions that they can just drop an entire duty period.
As I'm not proficient in legalese, I'm probably just reading it incorrectly, but still seems like a bizarre and fishy thing to do at any rate...

The majority of our protections appear to be preventing the company from extending these trips. If you want a more in depth explanation call the DALPA offices or send them an email at [email protected]

Make sure you get the full estate planning package if you are going to do it at all - you should walk out of your attorney's office with a will, a durable power of attorney, a living will (the one Kramer was agonizing over with Elaine..."Pull the plug or not?") and a healthcare proxy.
As stated above, probate sucks...but intestate (no will) probate sucks "worser." 😁

In the meantime a ToD/PoD on most accounts is a great way to mitigate some of the negatives of not having a will. You should still have one of course.

I wouldn't doubt it we have different Deltanets, but for me that path didn't work. I just did a search for Hyatt Legal Services and it took me to Deltanet>Our Company>Human Resources>Benefits>Free Will Preparation Service

That is good, but beyond a simple will.

Make sure the PoA is a durable PoA. The attorney will explain why.
A healthcare proxy (designating the person who makes your medical decisions/pulls the plug for you when you are in that comfortably numb vegetative state) should be done for a nominal charge to complete "the package."

MOAB drop scheduled
I got an email from my buddy Steve. He snuck in some info near the end that the Mother Of All Bids (MOAB) would be dropped on May 8th and continue through the 18th. He also said that there would be up to 2000 positions up for bid and that the DTW744, NYC & CVG M88 categories would close. Another tidbit was that they are expecting the following AE to be small but to include the CS100.
