Another bit of VMI history is that They were the only School actually involved in fighting a battle.

The Battle of New Market

of course check out this rifle from that battle. I saw this as a kid and remember thinking, wow, that couldn't have been good?

That was there claim to fame but their is a caveat:

On 15 May 1864 the VMI Corps of Cadets fought as an independent unit at the Battle of New Market. VMI is the only military college or academy in the United States to hold this distinction.
I think the distinction is to fight as an independent unit?

So as of 01 Apr, all 88 pilots in ATL on reserve are paid at 90 pay rates? I'm not trying to make it difficult, but I never connected those dots - good to know.

DH, thanks for the quick answer.

I believe so - at least from my reading of the contract.

Section 14. Subject to Section 14 D. 1. b. and c., a pilot who commences a medical leave of absence on or after June 1, 2006 will have his full pay sick leave hours restored when he returns from disability, if he makes a written request to his Chief Pilot within 30 days of his return to active payroll status. A pilot may use this provision once every four sick leave years (e.g., a pilot who requested and was granted this restoration to be effective on June 1, 2007 may be granted another restoration due to a subsequent return from disability not earlier than June 1, 2011).

My brother went to the Coast Guard Academy, and it is every bit a service academy. Older and more traditional than the zoo. It is the most selective school in the nation. And he has a big ring to go with it.

Question about payback days......

I understand when you GS on reserve, they mark your schedule with PB days.
-What is PR? (I'm guessing partial reserve)
-How do they calculate that?
-If I do a trip with a redeye (departs 11:50 on day 3, lands at 6AM day 4) is the trip considered a 4-day for payback credit?

So for your 4 day trip, for example, they would take block-in, plus 30 min, plus (8 or 9) hrs, plus 4 days (96 hrs) of payback days.

The trip with the redeye would be considered 4 days, because it would use 4 days of a reserve.

If you're near the end of the month, PB days don't go into the next month. They get stored (see your time card at the bottom) and can be used to drop days in another month, or as vacation days.

I believe you are correct about all ATL M88 reserve pilots being paid 90 rates. There are some exceptions though. Vacation is still paid at M88 rates. I'm not sure about sick time.
