If ACMI charter crews are pushed beyond their limits, and I would argue that they are not since I spent 20 years flying similar schedules under the same guidelines, wouldn't the White House, Congress, the Senate and the Pentagon also be complicit? Don't know why your singling out Inhofe because he made a stupid decision in his Cessna.

Buzz,

Do you think 30 hours on duty is acceptable for civilian ops?

He made many stupid decisions in his cessna. He is unrepentant. His input on aviation matters is higher than most. Dont try to defend the indefensible please.

Also, Buzz are you trying to say you never heard of C141 crews falling asleep in flight...flying past their destinations....waking up at cruise to find everyone else asleep...etc...I have.

Earnings statements are now available on DeltaNet. I just checked mine and the gross PS payout was 6.52% of FLT PAY + FLT ADV.

Fed taxes were 25%; and GA taxes were 6%.
FICA, ALPA dues, and DPMA were pulled out at their normal rates too.

Still nothing on the "Pending ACH" at the Delta CU though.

My profit sharing check was about the same size as my regional's yearly Christmas bonus (also a profit sharing check technically).

Thanks for sharing. Why'd you leave?

I thought we were supposed to get DC Plan, DPSP contributions for this as well. There is none on the pay statement. I had a total of 33% deducted from check.

Call me cheap, but I don't see why ALPA needs to take dues out.

I would think that 2% of my salary would be enough, but I guess it's not.

You will. If I remember mine correctly, you should have received a letter about profit sharing at your home address from Steve Dickson detailing that the DC/401K contributions would be made on the 15th paycheck.
