How do I "designate" it? Better yet, who can I talk to about the mechanics of this? I'm on the phone with Fidelity and so far we're not getting really far. Like I said, good problem to have. But still.

You should be able to elect a percentage to go towards catch up contributions by going to the NetBenefits site and selecting the option to change your contribution amount. If you don't see it there, it may be that you have to wait until the beginning of the year you turn 50 (ie Jan 1) for it to populate.

Can someone explain why we have the technology in place to stop our 401k contributions automatically when they reach the limit, but it's beyond the capability of Optum HSA to stop those contributions (even though I set the contribution to $0 two weeks ago), thus necessitating old-fashioned snail-mail to fix?

Rant over.

Did you recently complete items on Rally that resulted in HSA contributions? Or was it a paycheck withholding that created the overage?

The Dec 15 check put me over, even though the Optum website pie chart indicated I was full and future contributions would be $0.

Just figure out what you expect from the health rewards, and put the difference in as a one-time contribution from your PS check...

Anybody know if ALPA has the January FO awards yet? Pretty sure the CA awards came out on Friday but no sign of FO awards yet.

It's getting really old waiting 5 or 6 days for them to come out every month, but I guess compared to all of the other IT shortcomings at DL this one is pretty low priority.

I’m guessing every FO‘s no fly list keeps getting longer making it much more lengthy of a process to complete our schedules.

I think we should pass the hat. If 8,000 FOs toss in 2 bucks we could fund an extra 12 shifts/overtime a year to get our schedules no more than 18 hours after the As.

I also think they should be released by category so little ones don't wait for the big ones. No one has given me a reasonable argument why we wait for release en masse.
