T my man not wahhhhhh......What did I state thate was incorrect? When did DALPA file ANY grievance?:cool:

So why do we need to give DAL a loan? !/2 guarantee is fair...don't ya think?

You got merged into a new company, it's the way it's done here. It's not a big deal, and I agree the 1/2 guarantee is more logical. It's something that should be corrected down the road.

Suck it up, cupcake. :rolleyes:

I think we can all budget our money and the small check isn't a problem, however it really screws up your taxes. The small check has nothing taken out of it as far as federal taxes go and then they nail you will 35% on your next check. If they did them half and half you could set your exemptions so they would take the right amount out each check. I try to get zero back on my return each year and you simply cannot do it with the system we use because they take out so much on the second check when you're really in a much lower tax bracket.

The one good thing about that check is you can show it to your neighbors who think you are a millionaire and from that point on they won't ask you to bring stuff over when they have a barbeque.

This was when I came back from furlough - didn't know any better. Just fair warning if they try to do it to someone else.

Actually, one thing to think about for the company (not defending them, mind you) is that right now for all (fill in years of service) they only have to put in a flat rate. They would probably have to reprogram a bunch of their computers to fix this - just guessing. There are a lot of things that are the "Delta" way for this very reason. A lot of them could use fixing BUT there is only so much manpower and money for some of them.

They have a stack of apps sitting on their desk for SLI's. Start calling em. :rolleyes:

I have seen it happen all of the time.

Pay question.

How is sick pay and monthly guarantee handled if you have vacation, recurrent and a spillover that put you over the PBS window.

Example:

Carry in 65 hours, 7 days of vacation and then company slaps your recurrent in the middle of the month.

If you do everything thats somewhere north of 90 hours of pay, with negative bank balance you subtract a few.

Now if that is your only trip for the month and you call in sick for the entire trip OR downline sick, are you paid the full amount including bank payback or are you only paid up to the ALV + 15 or up to ALV + 7.5 or what?

If it's on your schedule/time card for the month, you get paid for it. With the sick leave, it depends on whether you have used up all your 300 hours in the rolling 3 year period. If you have used that all up then it depends on whether you have any sick leave left that will pay at 75%.
