Didn't quite make it for the centennial. (opened in 1924).

Alas. Never thought I'd miss those tiny rooms, cramped elevators, and cheap pizza around the block.

2020 sucks.

I had a room there once where I could sit on the “micro-Queen” bed and touch all 4 walls. :eek:

Can you provide a source for that? I just looked at the 2020 Summary Plan Description pdf and under the Restrictions and Exlusions (page 32) it stated:

"No Optional or Dependent Life Insurance benefits are paid if death results from an act of suicide that occurs within two years of the effective date of your coverage; instead, the total amount of premiums paid by you for such benefits will be returned to the Beneficiary"

I searched the document for "flying" and "aviation" and came up empty.

I also have the private pilot insurance. It's there somewhere. Had eversince a new hire. It's an insurance option all by itself. Not included with the life insurance. Separate packages.

Never knew it was owned by Pakistan International Airlines!

Been perusing PWA, maybe someone can help me out.

West coast pilot assigned RECY in an A period. Does that trigger the 4:00 extra pay like in CQ?

I guess it depends if RECY is categorized as "CQ" or "Qualification".

For CQ, it's pilot base time (West coast A & E +4)
For Qualification, it's training local time (E +2, F +4)

PWA Definitions:

“Continuing qualification training” (CQ) means training necessary to maintain position qualification under FAR 121.427 and the Company’s advanced qualification program (AQP) standards.

“Qualification training” means training necessary to create a position qualification (i.e., initial, transition, upgrade, requalification, transoceanic ground school).

Also, in order to be assigned one of those premium pay periods, you must volunteer or consent. So if it turns out that RECY counts as CQ, and you didn't volunteer for it, then you will be able to decline it if you want.

Thanks. That’s what I was trying to figure out. I wasn’t asked, it was just assigned. All good.

No problem, so did you find out if it's CQ or Qualification? I'm assuming CQ but couldn't find a black and white answer.
