If you don't put that in, you will not get paid per diem for training events!! Other than the perdiem, I don't think they re-imburse us for anything else. Another fine feature of Delta's extremely advanced computer system.
You have to input it manually because the computer system has no idea when you actual travel to training and when you go back. It also has no idea when you go home on days off for transition training. Its a honor system but if you go home for blocks of off days your supposed to list each block of days actually in training and they only pay per diem for those days. They will also pay for tips and transportation if needed to and from the airport.

What does honor got to do with refusal to pay me something that is legally mine, just because I didn't claim it right away? Sounds like a one way deal to me..

My schedule in DBMS knew to tell me to show up 30 minutes prior to my DH to training and showed a duty end time of 30 minutes after my DH flight landed coming home. Wouldn't think it would be hard to just pay us off of that data. Still can't believe we have to do this to get paid and also log our landings. Even the MESA guys don't have to log their own landings.

That's kinda how I felt when I realized I was shorted a few hundred bucks. The CP said, "you get a popup message on e-crew now to remind you to do it." However, that message is confusing because it tells you to input your expneses for training but gives you no idea on how to do it and leads you to beleive it is for expenses other than perdiem. The message should say, "If you want to be paid PERDIEM for your recent training, you MUST input the hours you were in ATL or you won't get paid." I think we would all understand that message.

Super, I'm sorry man, you post some great pictures of Texas coeds but these TCU majorettes that Fox is putting on multiple close ups during the Fiesta Bowl really take the cake.

2 more nights Super and Satch, 2 more nights. I shall be out flying and will simply do my ATLXGDL. Unless it snows in Atlanta, then I shall be in the airport terminal throughout the game.

A class action grievance would set an efficient stopper for this. I might call my rep and ask about that..

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allegiant Travel Company (Nasdaq: ALGT) today announced that on December 30, 2009 it signed an agreement to purchase 18 MD-80 aircraft from Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS). Allegiant will pay for the aircraft with cash.

Allegiant expects to take delivery of these aircraft during the first three quarters of 2010. The 18 purchased aircraft comprise two groups:

* 13 MD-82/3 aircraft which the Company's airline subsidiary Allegiant Air expects to place into service by the end of 2011. Along with a previously-announced separate purchase of two MD-82/3 aircraft (also from SAS) for delivery in the first quarter of 2010, this transaction satisfies essentially all of Allegiant's currently expected aircraft growth through the end of 2011. Allegiant expects to operate at least 52 aircraft by the end of 2010 and as many as 60 aircraft by the end of 2011.

Allegiant expects that the all-in cost of placing each such aircraft into service, including an allocable portion of the acquisition price and required maintenance, paint, seats, equipment upgrades and other necessary modifications will be less than $4 million per aircraft. (GO DOUGLAS! )

* Five MD-87 aircraft which Allegiant will not operate but instead plans to use as a source of spare engines and other spare parts.

Ia, since you had a baby in November you are a prime candidate to join the late night Latest & Greatest about Delta hosted by the nocturnal 80 Knots Clamp with occasional posts by ACL! Posts occur from 12-1am, 1-2am, 3-4am but never after 4am and the host doesn't show back up til noon but I'm sure you'll be back at around 5-6am and 6-7am. We're dealing with the teething phase right now, lots of snot and slobber and I'm here from 12-3am.

Good evening boys and girls, and welcome to late nite latest and greatest in Deltoid land with your host, 80knotsClamp.

Tonights topics: JAL- to JV or not to JV? And is "Haneda" the sound a japanese person makes when they sneeze?

We'll also have deep thoughts from forgot to bid, every detail on delta's 50 year plan from ACL, and "name that underboob" with superpilot92.

Again, this is your host... bringing you the smoothest and the Guard Dudest all night long... Clamp.

Forgot to Bid checking in.

Currently my deep thoughts are lost in Supers picture post. Once my brain starts thinking again I will have something worthwhile to post, if not, I'll post a picture.
