thank youuuu
This is one area of many in our contract where it’s way more complicated than necessary. I think if you converted after a certain day of the month (the 10th or 14th comes to mind), you won’t see the pay until the middle of next months check. I think you’re still getting the extra cash, but they don’t process your new rate until the next month. When I upgraded, that extra month wait was brutal, but the mid month check was a few thousand bigger than I was expecting, after it was all said and done.

Correct, with an unchanging ALV, the 1st of the month paycheck will always be the same, while the 15th pays the balance of the month PRIOR. Sucks to be paid in arrears.

True, but technically you’ll make it up on the back end by getting a couple of paychecks after you’ve already retired…

Crewdawg,

interesting perspective. Thanks. I’m not sure if Delta has a clear advantage over American when you measure up the pros/cons of each. A big exception pilots raise is that American might go under / liquidate some day but nobody at the company really expresses any concern about that. I wonder what I would do if Delta gave me an offer. I would be home based at either airline.

1) the one that allows you to live in base and drive to work.

2) if must commute (to allow momma and kids to live where they want)…take the one with easiest commute.

3) if one and two don’t apply, take the one that gets you a line number first.
