Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

alright let me ask this because i dont know, what incentive pay was there for resv pilots under nwa's systems. such as the gs over guarantee and payback systems?

if there wasnt one, would you prefer a hybrid system with 1.5 over 80 and resv gs's?

i'm think of super's situation on this one, 50 hours on gs so 120 hrs of pay and his pb days meant he was off dec 21-28...

Where's the snow??? Sitting in NYC at the long layover hotel with not a flake in sight. The WX channel keeps calling for a Blizzard. Of course, I have a late afternoon flight out of EWR and Mother D is still showing all is GO for a launch. Fun times in the Big Apple..... Good Luck to all.:p

Good Advice Tom. Flurries just started, being a ANC refugee, I am well aware of Mother Nature's force. They just didn't hype it on TV so much.
Take care.

Looks like your snow has arrived. Good luck. :D

In all seriousness though, be safe. That stuff gets slick.

Have to agree here. It seems as if the GS system lends iteslf to the senior guys and also those that live in base. 1.5 pay was pretty much across the board and was also somewhat availabel to those who comute. If you go over 80 you get 1.5 pay simple as that. Depends on where you are on the seniority list and where you live.;)

PS That was also an auto email that you got from EZOpenboard, when a premium trip showed up in open time.

Another great service gone, EZ open board, sure miss that, hope he gets it going again.:D

Here is my issue with that. I was on my on call day starting around the storm in MSP for 13 days with a one day break. Good for me in that I YS trips and hit the ALV and am off the last 10 days of this month. Now I am over ALV and a GS is worthless to me.

I am home this week and willing to fly but I won't for RES pay rules. Why would I GS a trip and not get 2x pay. Why YS a trip and get paid 6:30 for a trip that pays a REG pilot 10:30.

So instead I will enjoy some time at home. Now it is possible I am mistaken and could be maximizing pay somehow but I don't know how.

Yeah, imagine when they get $500/ hour.. they'll NEVER retire.

The company shouldn't hire until the operation is nearly ready to burst. That method is the best way to ensure that we hire just what we need, and avoid putting an airman through the sickening process of furlough.

Bid reserve in a holiday month and come back with that crap. And I'm not talking about Secretaries Day either.
