Very rare but a big moneymaker.

If what you are saying here is "you would get double pay for the 2 day and single pay for the 4 day," I don't think that is right. Essentially I read the following contract quote as you get single pay for both trips. It's 23U. The deal here is you do not have to meet a GS trigger.

GSWC
A pilot will be removed from a rotation(s) on his regular line that conflicts with a GSWC rotation(s). Such pilot will receive:
a. single pay and credit for the removed rotation(s), and

b. single pay, no credit for the GSWC rotation(s) flown.

This is from the contract.

The definition of "annual compensation" is also in the contract: “Annual compensation” for purposes of the profit sharing plan, means an employee’s gross earnings during the profit sharing plan year, including any sick and vacation pay (whether paid by the Company or from a disability and survivor trust), but excluding: a) expense reimbursements, b) expense allowances, c) income required to be imputed to the employee for any reason pursuant to federal, state or local law, d) profit sharing awards, e) earnings from any other incentive compensation program, f) Company contributions to a retirement plan, g) disability payments, h) income from the grant, vesting, exercise or sale of Delta stock or Delta stock options, i) income relating to, or resulting from, bankruptcy claims, notes, or other securities, j) medical plan payments and k) severance payments. In addition, annual compensation for the purposes of the profit sharing plan includes pilot furlough pay.

Any idea if "lost income" due to military leave is / is not included? Say you were on ML 6 months, do they prorate the 6 months on "expected earnings" or is your profit sharing cut 50%. Thanks.

Fellow warrior. Greetings. Unfortunately, there is no expected earnings. Just your earnings from DL. So no pro-rated.

I was mob'd for 2 years and missed out on those great free passes that were flying around back in 2003-2005 for one thing or another because I did not meet NWAs definition of employee while on ML.

Stay safe. Thank you for your service

Question for an AWABS expert. We took off from HNL last night with a 757-300. AWABS gave us a flaps 5 (179K V2, yikes) off of 08L. What is interesting is that MGL never let you use 8L due to a climb limit. Any idea what the difference is? Flaps 5 vs flaps 15?

Honest, not picking an A vs B fight, just trying to understand.

Denny, you are right. It's been so long since I have seen one my memory has faded. Thanks for the correction.

It is rather simple if you read it in the PWA. Also it is automated and put right on your paring so in reality there is no need to understand it. Right number is what you can fly to, plus two hrs. Left number is actual if flown on time.

Whitlow is figured out on the top of the Preface that the gate agent gives you. It sometimes does not take in to account SC pilots on domestic duty. Most of the time it does.

You make it seem so simple. :D I'm teasing, that does help.
