Thanks 80.

That would be much better for some of these trips.

NewK,

If you are on reserve, even if it is a GS, I believe you get what the trip is worth as a reserve. It is a reserve GS. If you look at the bottom of the rotation/pairing it lists what a trip is worth for both regular and reserve lineholders. I would either ask scheduling when they call what the trip is worth for a reserve vs a regular guy or I would let the answering machine get the message and then check it out online. You should have at least 10 minutes to call in and accept the trip if you want it (depending on how much time til the trip departs). As a reserve any time is straight pay above your reserve guarantee. As a regular it is straight pay until you get to the GS trigger then double above that. I know with that steel trap mind of yours, you already know all this but I thought you just might want clarification!

FtB,

Breathe in..............Breathe out.............and repeat after me, "I get paid by the minute," "I get paid by the minute."

All kidding aside, I feel your pain so to speak. Was it the Peter Principle that says something about people get promoted to their highest level of incompetence......... I know it's true, look at me!!! (Well, not quite, I've just survived long enough due to fairly good genes!) Fortunately for me, on APC, not to many people know my real name..........unfortunately too many already do!!

No steel trap mind here. I just found out about the reserve pay for greenslips today.

I that makes some of the trips very crappy, even for a greenslip. Ie. A two day trip worth 4.24 hours. (Yuck)

Denny Crane

Yeah, to put it in terms I can use on here, it's "hogwash!" This difference between regular and reserve pay for the same trip has needed to be fixed as far back as I can remember.

Yeah. Unbelievable. I'm gonna have to get my act together and do some serious planning. There are a lot of places in this contract that can jump up and bite you.

Denny Crane

Truer words were never spoken! I will probably be sitting a lot more reserve now and I have GOT to re-familiarize (is that a word?) myself with all the reserve rules again. I'm sure I'll get bitten a time or two but hopefully not for the same thing twice!!

Hey, what are you doing up so late!?! That is, if you are on the east coast........

Leon, I have a question:

35. (Refer to appendix 2, figures 63, 63A, 63B, 64, 64C, 65, 69 and 72B.) What is the turbulent air penetration N1 power setting for Operating Conditions Q-1?
A. 84.0 percent.
B. 82.4 percent.

C. 84.8 percent.
D. So... you... don't want a fish sandwich?

forgot to bid

Ah well this isn't helping, now I don't know your real name. Or do I? Crap, you know I'm just getting screwed again here. I am the defender of my passengers, the protector of my employer, the lead... the follower of men, and nobody wants to tell me my real name or yours and its just like the Nashville thing all over again and I'm just going to end up being really late.

Are the new MD90s by the way getting MD88 "extended overhead bins on the side with three seats" as the announcement goes?

Does anybody who has seen the terminal plans for JFK want to talk about what they look like for those of us who haven't seen them? What exactly is happening with the Saucer section for instance, is that going to be expanded a little or not at all?

Saucer to be turned into razor blades!

Seriously, terminal four gets each leg extended first, then terminal 3 gets bulldozed and then 2 gets connected to 4. As I understand it, there will be a one way type of flow into and out of the big U shaped series of gates from what is now the KD taxiway to the LA taxiway.

If you didn't know, they relabeled K taxiway (aka single kilo) as KD taxiway. There will be spots for RJs and staging spots. Can't say anything about the interior design, but it has to be better than what we have now.
