No quarterly profit sharing...only full year profit sharing

Why? Well we know why.

And just imagine the possibilities of newK flying with FTB. Won't be hard to spot: A captain that looks like Chuck Norris+The most interesting man in the world that is wearing 5 stripes and women automatically take off their underwear as he walks by. What does FO FTB look like? Easy: a huge yellow bird holding a box of crayons.

You are filleting me.

"women automatically take off their underwear."

Profit sharing is on an annual basis, so we need to be profitable at the end of the fiscal year. I have heard that we are forecasting to be "significantly" profitable for the year. Now, define "significantly". To me, considering the last few years (decade) $1.00 of net profits is significant.

Default Question

I am projecting 65:30 + 30:00 hrs. of vacation = 95:30, will they withhold the 5 hrs. to replenish negative bank above 80:00?

On a different, positive note, how much profit is Delta going to announce tomorrow? I'm guessing $500 million!!

No, vacation is paid as pay no credit and your credit needs to be above 80 in orderto trigger the bank withdrawal.

Just a question. Is the "turbulence plot" program dead. The reason I ask is, we flew 2 pmDal jets and neither had the plotting maps. We then didn't remember getting any on the acars and, on at least that leg, there were none on the flight plan (odd for this time of year).

We also looked at the H1H2, and saw that if you looked close the mountain wave areas were still there but without the mountain wave routes. The diamond "stay off" jet routes but not the deviation routes.

Which brings up, what is the status of the old weather shop at the OCC?
