Do they pay the tax now though? Some say they pay 777 rates even to FO's who can't hold it to try and sweeten the pot. The tax issue is simply beyond their control. I can't see them paying it for some and not others. A free hotel and/or positive space with commutable skeds would get them all the applicants they could handle anyway.

In any case I'd think the majority of SLI's live in states that have a tax anyway, and most of those are equal to or greater than GA and you can (I think?) credit that against your own state's.

At the SLI recruiting event I was told the highest FO pay you can hold in the system. Unless you can hold CA then it's 777B pay.

Oh OK well that would make sense then, since 100% of the SLI's can easily hold CA no matter how junior at the moment.

There's a link to it at the bottom of the bid packages on pbs. Just look under bid info and scroll down.

Damn you young millennials........now I don't have anything to ***** about the rest of the week.

Thanks....I would have went for years without looking for a setting to fix it.

Ok.........How do I get rid of the nuisance message that pops up in the upper left hand corner of the page with the fan blades? (it says different thing like "Tap and say: What movies are playing tonight?")

I also want to know that.

Never remember why it is supposed to be better to bid reserve on months with vacation. Thanks

Go into settings and turn Cortana off. I can't remember the exact drill down. But it was pretty easy.

Cortana must have been an "A" line in an earlier life.
