Mmmm...boobs. Anyway, new guy question. Had a 5 day rotation this month that spilled into June. For whatever reason, crew scheduling just changed this rotation to a 4 day which no longer spills over.
Why would they do that? Seems bizarre...
More importantly, am I pay protected for the credit that should've spilled into June (was kind of counting on it for bidding purposes)? Thanks.

How I'm reading it is that it may be dropped for any PWA/FAR violations (of which there is none in my case), or if it contains a flight segment with a different flight#, within the same duty period, between the two bid periods. 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...

Apparently there is a Delta wives FB group to which my own wife subscribes. She told me she saw a couple ladies post that they had recently done wills and that Delta picked up the tab. If this is true, does anybody know how I go about doing this?

Looks like Alitalia filed for bankruptcy. Any idea on how this would affect our JV with them?

Thanks, I was working with the old scheduling reference handbook. I see that it does go into depth about asterisk rotations now, but I still didn't read anything that, to me, implied that they can just drop it on a whim.
How I'm reading it is that it may be dropped for any PWA/FAR violations (of which there is none in my case), or if it contains a flight segment with a different flight#, within the same duty period, between the two bid periods. Pertaining to duty periods, I don't see where it mentions that they can just drop an entire duty period.

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.
