I was beginning to think it was a wasted post. Thanks.

No... Short call guys are "just in case" Whatever that means. Armageddon, Falcons winning the Super Bowl, an NBA game actually being entertaining... I don't know. But whenever it occurs, you will know.

If you are saying that our pay is so low now that it takes 160hrs of it a month to live comfortably, you may need to look at some lifestyle changes.:)

I know what you are trying to say, but it seems a little bit extreme to say that people couldn't live off of 80 hrs of our current rates with a modest raise. The upward progression that an improvement in work rules would create would allow you to make as much as you do now or more without spending as many days away from home. Not much different for reserves like yourself who aren't flying very many days, but for those of us that fly a regular line it would be an increase in Q of L. (At least for those of us who like to be with our families.)

a little bit of a blockhour increase...2nd flt to Ams

DL will fly twice daily to AMS. DL238/9 and DL174/5 both with A332s. DL 174/5 will operate between June 11th and August 31st. The flight will arrive at AMS around 14:45 and leave AMS at 17:20

I am a tool
 

Holy $h1X. I can't believe I screwed up the 30,000 post without a cheerleader pic. I have one ready to fix the post, but someone is going to have to tell me how. PM please?

I should not be allowed to post on here. I promise my last post :)

I always page down to the rotations and print from there. I don't think I've looked at that other crap in over a year.

I never look at it. Trust me.

Do not negotiate against yourself! :D

Point is and was, that for a line holder he can pickup a set amount out of the pot per month. Cut that like Sailing is stating many guys will cry foul. Ergo, the way to fix it is to raise the rates.

You must remember that people live within the means of what they are making (generally) Cut that by 42% require them to save for retirement, throw in the fact that these guys that took the pay cuts are now parents of college kids, and they need to make X.

I love this job, and want to make what I am worth! Where I live within my means or to the salary I make is my business not the companies.

I say to all, get debt free, pay off the house, and then really start saving money. If you pull that belt buckle in a bunch now, it will pay dividends in a few short years. That is how an average person truly starts to create generational wealth!

Oh it was not a wasted post. I love it too!

If a reserve guy picks up a GS trip on his work days(not on XX days or golden days), is it just credit towards guarantee, or is it straight pay above guarantee?? :confused:

I should probably mention it's an out of base GS. Does that make a difference? It is NOT on my days off, so is it a pointless GS??? :o

OK, if I'm reading Section 23 N. corrrectly my GS is pointless because they would award the trip to Long Call out of base reserves and Short Call out of base reserves before they even get to GS requests. Since I'm on reserve in DTW, and it's a MEM trip they could just assign it to me anyway.

Is that correct?? Am I actually understanding this PWA??? :p
