You don't have to sell your shares to take out a loan. You can sell other investments held in your 401k instead, if desired.

So I was awarded a new category on the May AE with a projected conversion of December. A quick check of the sim schedule for that category shows my name nowhere on the schedule for sims in December. As I understand it, I do not have to fly in my current category after December 1st. Correct?

Ok, so I'm a little annoyed that, as a copilot, I don't warrant a "customer engagement kit". Not that I have an ego or anything (my wife and kids have long since disposed of that), but I can't even begin to count the times I've been alone in the cockpit and have had an interested family or interested kid come up to see the "office". Up until now, when a parent asked me for a pair of wings for their kid, I could say something like, "Oh, I'm sorry, we haven't had those for some time now. How about I plop your son/daughter up in the seat and take a picture with your camera?"
Now I get to say, "Sorry. The Captain's off punching a grupmy. Would you like to wait in the jetway until he gets back so he can access his Customer Engagement Kit?"
Ridiculous. Either give us all the tools to properly engage and please our customers or give us lassos and revolvers to efficiently herd them on and off the airplane.
-"Sorry, kid. I'm just a copilot. I'm not authorized to give you souvenier wings. If you could only wait until the Captain wipes his butt and gets his pizza......."
I'm sorry, it just reeks of a cheap-assed solution to a very large problem...

In reality every pilot is to get a kit. I think the difference is that the Captains get the business cards with their names on them so they can write special thank you's to the HVC passengers.

Look at the conversion list for the December when it's published, if it shows you as December conversion, tada! Paid month off.
The projected conversion is just that.. projected. That is not actual.

I also recall that Dec1 is the latest conversion date for the May AE, so yes, if you are not in training or converted you are paid and off line until you are given a sim schedule and then converted in your new jet.
