It looks like if you park on the souteast end of the C Concourse, ftb want's you to taxi OVER an Air Tran aircraft and set the parking brake.

It is true that if you didn't use it you would lose it but most thought of it as an insurance policy.

Does the money just roll into the section 6 funds? Inquiring minds want to know.
I think at some point we get the funds back but ALPA will have to deduct dues from it like income.

Its like TARP funds: The first part, they will just lose and noone will investigate. The second part will have a fast tracked depreciation schedule so if we dont get it paid back in 3 years, its absorbed anyway.

Which is EXACTLY what that guy still has with the combination of sick leave, TD, LTD, DPMA and Top up benefits. If a N guy came over with 2000 hours, and hasn't used any since the merger, and goes on disability today, he'll have about 2 years of full pay under the DAL PWA.... just like he would have at NWA.

So what's the over-under on the NYC Slot Swap agreement coming out in the next week or two?

If DAL/LLC are talking with the DOT/DOJ, as advertised in the media, I would think that they may be close to coming to some sort of compromise.

So what was the answer to the location of the PBS desktop app?

Asked and answered. Log into PBS and it's under the settings tab. Alas, it only works with Windows.

A very good friend of mine who recently used DPMA and previously used lots of sick time at NW said the DPMA checks were a bit LESS than he would have been paid than under NW. Something to do with the percentages they use to figure out DPMA payments versus 80 hours/month at full hourly rate with all the usual fed deductions etc etc. He showed me his pay statements and calculations from DPMA. Not pretty.

True. Going through it now. STD pays 50%, DPMA pays about 24%. DPMA is tax free so that helps. Also, remember you have to pay premiums for DPMA coverage though admittedly not very much.
