http://youbentmywookie.com/wookie/ga...ll-ferrell.jpg Payback Day Bank If there are insufficient days remaining in the bid period, the excess X-days are placed into a Payback Day Bank. These days may be used as follows: • Reserve coverage permitting, a pilot may drop a rotation of any length using his payback days. o If the number of payback days in his bank equals or exceeds the length of the rotation, then he will receive pay and credit for the entire rotation. o If the number of payback days in his bank is less than the length of the rotation, then he will receive pay and credit for the first portion of the rotation that is equal to the number of days in his bank. • Reserve coverage permitting, a pilot may drop any number of on-call days, to the extent of the number of days in his payback day bank. He will receive pay and credit of 3:53 for each on-call day dropped. • By mutual agreement with Crew Scheduling, a pilot may have payback days added to the beginning or end of a vacation period in the current vacation year. His vacation bank will be credited 3:00 for each payback day added to his vacation. • Payback days that are not used by December 31 are converted to supplemental (SUPP) vacation days and applied toward the following year’s vacation. (See Vacation Allotment and Bidding article for more details.) Excellent, thanks for the reference. You too Johnso29 and ACL, I appreciate it. |
SWA: MX Delay Now an Act of God
"If there's a God who controls floods and earthquakes, does the deity also have a hand in an airline's mechanical problems?
Apparently so, according to Tucson's most popular airline, which recently added "mechanical difficulties" to the list of acts of God and other events for which the carrier will not be liable if travel is delayed. Southwest Airlines quietly made the change a few weeks ago, to the puzzlement of some industry analysts. It appears on page 11 of 32 pages of fine print called a "contract of carriage," which many passengers don't read, but which spells out their recourse in mishaps such as flight interruptions or baggage loss. Mechanical difficulties - what type is not defined - now appears on a list of events such as wars, riots, storms, earthquakes and other acts of God that are "outside of (Southwest's) control."

Source: Southwest: Breakdown is now an act of God I believe SWA is correct. As most pilots who have had serious mechanical problems will attest, 'Oh God' is offten muttered:cool: |

They are cancelling interviews for people that were already scheduled. Calls went out this afternoon.
They were told that they will be "at the top of the list when hiring resumes next year." |

My guess is the pilots coming back from recall + the Compass pilots flowing up + the Mesaba pilots flowing up + the new hires from the street = about 305 pilots. I thought there would be more new hires from the street in that equation. That's a little disappointing. Oh well. 3 of the 4 groups are pilots junior to me.
