Since you have a freeze, you could only VD to another 88 base. There are 50 total displacements. So the only way that you could be MD is to have 50 people senior to you come over to the MSP 88. In other words, you have nothing to worry about. Likely you will probably just drop a few numbers.

Hey Guys,

Trying to remember if the pay rates from the APLA chart include international pay.

IE: If the 12yr B747 of $148.25 includes international pay or not. If not whats the going rate in the right seat?

I am trying to figure how much more I have to fly on whale to break even with the left seat on the DC9. Thanks in advance.

No they do not.

The pay charts in the JCBA do not include international pay. International pay for Capt. is $6 and FO $4 per hour.

Thanks Maddog and Denny

Hi Amish Pilot,
I'm kinda' in the same boat. Probably same as you, I know guys who've been DC-9/A for years, and went to the 774/B for:
>QOL
>more money
>less work/different lay-overs
I'm inclining more & more to make the same jump. Perhaps this year. The big variable is the time frame of closing the MEM -9 base, as is rumored lately. Interesting times!!! I view this as one of those 'choice between two good things' that life occasionally hands you. Good luck in your choices...

I hope you are right. I know we are pushing for "less" charity to be given to them as a result of the two mergers since the original filing/rejection. But I would be shocked if SWA and maybe even JB didn't walk away with at least some very valueable LGA/DAC slots in what will obviously be a flat out bribe/appeasement. Of course I doubt [hope?] their days of being treated like Air Force One by every ATC facility are coming to an end. Oh that's right, "ATC knows they can get it dunn and no one else can" or whatever :D

Um, time to post this on the Windfall thread gloopy, looks like it's about to fall off the front page of APCF as nobody has said anything since the day I said too much. Hate for a winner of a thread like that to disappear.

A bit off topic but don't dial a phone number with an 809 area code. Just got this message from my daughter that included the following:

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T EVER
DIAL AREA CODE 809

This one is being distributed all over the US ... This is pretty
scary, especially given the way they try to get you to call.

Be sure you read this and pass it on.

They get you to call by telling you that it is information about a
family member who has been ill or to tell you someone has been
arrested, died, or to let you know you have won a wonderful prize,
etc..
In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away. Since
there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return
these calls.

If you call from the U.S. or Canada , you will apparently be charged a
minimum of $2425 per-minute.

And you'll also get a long recorded message. The point is, they will
try to keep you on the phone as long as possible to increase the
charges.
WHY IT WORKS:

The 809 area code is located in the Dominican Republic .
The charges afterward can become a real nightmare. That's because you
did actually make the call. If you complain, both your local phone
company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved
and will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the
billing for the foreign company. You'll end up dealing with a foreign
company that argues they have done nothing wrong.

Please forward this entire message to your friends, family and
colleagues to help them become aware of this scam.

IMO Delta is still reeling from the self induced blunt force trauma pounding in giving up a significant gate area, dumping tons of money into the "TajMullin" only to underutilize it, while the carrier that you allowed to gain market share in the process of doing so has flat out dominated, taken the title as the city's biggest and even stole the Red Sox sponsorship out from under us. All while we flounder in a half empty terminal with low utilization that we share with a competitor (not to mention give Alaska some great routes that should be 100% ours).

IOW, we have a LOT of act to get together before a BOS pilot base of any kind is even a consideration. Don't hold your breath, as it appears we have ceeded that territory permantly and are too afraid to do what it takes to get it back. The shuttle may or may not be a "money maker" (to a large degree that is) but the shuttle as a whole is 2/3 RJ's anyway. The BOS-LGA shuttle isn't nearly enough to justify a BOS base. We won't have one until we get down and dirty and take that city back, and it doesn't look like we are willing and/or able to do that now. Kiss BOS goodbye.
