Positive Bank/Profit Sharing
 
Denny or anyone

Any idea if one earns positive bank hours in 2010, will those hours earned but not paid or included in your W-2 be included in the profit sharing calculation?

Might not be such a positive thing in a good year.

With line of time bidding and the moveup process (known and blind) to both regular and reserve lines, you could easily get in the 85 to 95 hour credit range for a month. Then with a hard cap on hours you could get paid for the month, say 75, the only thing you could do was put these extra hours in the bank.

AAAHHHHH the good ole days!!!!!!:D

Probably converted before training.
I'm jealous. It would be great to be benched for Christmas.

Talked to a classmate of mine who is leaving MSP DC9 for MSP M88. No training date for December and possibly January. :eek:

Gotta love free vacations. :cool:

Whoops
 
Alabama PA announcer fired for songs aimed at Cam Newton - NCAA Football - SI.com

'Bama employee fired over songs


TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- The University of Alabama has fired an employee who played songs aimed at Auburn quarterback Cam Newton before the Iron Bowl.
University spokeswoman Debbie Lane said Monday that the part-time staffer was fired for the unauthorized songs. Take the Money and Run and Son of a Preacher Man were played while Newton and the Tigers warmed up. The NCAA has been investigating allegations that Newton's father, a pastor, solicited $180,000 from Mississippi State during recruiting.
Lane said in a statement that all music and videos played in the stadium before and during games have to be approved by a senior athletic administrator. She said the staffer -- who was not named -- didn't get those songs cleared.

If not, who do I contact? If so, this is BS.

SkyWest has been known to do this on a regular basis. They were using positive space to bring UAX guys to SLC on mainline DAL flights for training a few years ago. If they are being used for non Delta flying or training then they need to have a purchased ticket just like a mainline UAL pilot would have. If they don't and they are bumping revenue then you should tell the agent to deny them boarding and call the CPSC. We left more than a few behind in ORD when they were doing this a few years ago.

Republic Airways has been known to do this as well. Not sure if it's still going on, but it was common in years past.

There are about 20 guys that were suppose to be in SLC on the 320 for December that are benched. They were told they will try to find them a slot in January but it may be into Febuary before they get them in. Two months off over the holidays and getting paid the ALV is a sweet deal!

Wow! What a deal!
