On another note I too knocked myself back to RSV next month with my very strict request of off days so if any of you RSV gurus want to hand out any trade secrets or witchcraft that might make life better by all means fire away! :D

I got first class on a deadhead.

It was a 757, with IFE.

The seat next to me? College coed. Would receive a 10 out of 10 on this website if you guys could vote.

I thought they worked to prevent this kind of nonsense?

Anyways, told my wife that technically I slept closer to a college coed today then I did her given we have a very wide king size bed. She laughs. That's funny to her. Just like it's funny that 150 people will all sleep next to each other on an airplane but never anywhere else.

BTW, why doesn't she care about the girl? A) She knows me. B) She knows what women want. C) She knows what I look like.

You see one time I ran into my neighbor at the grocery store, my wife called. My neighbor thought it'd be funny if she answered for me so I let her. My neighbor put on a show, refusing to let her talk to me, wanting to know why my wife was calling me.

Now any other woman would've come through that phone and killed us both. My wife was like "this woman has stolen my husbands phone and is giving me attitude!"

No respect.

Why should any current ALPA rep/volunteer want to work for an organization whose entire premise was "you guys suck"?

Let me put it to you this way. What if the DPA becomes a reality, you become a rep or committee member of the DPA, then the Delta pilots throw out the DPA to return to ALPA a couple of years later (like the FedEx pilots did). Would you be itching to fill an ALPA or "transition" position?

Each day is worth 6 CH's. That is converted to a Vacation Bank.

With 15 days the bank is 90 hrs. Min days is 7 together. I can take the 7 day vacation block and slide it up to 5 days either direction to conflict trips. If I can't or don't want to slide it I can expand it to knock out (6ch's x 7 days= 42 ch's) up to the 42 CH's + 6 for a total of 48 ch's. Those credit hours come out of the bank. For my remaining 8 days I have CH's equal to what I didn't use in the first block of 7 days. Or could bid all 15 days together. The net effect is that I will get every CH of vacation that I earned whether I bid reserve, a line, or have a direct conflict with a trip or not.

Generally, our work day pays 6 CH's or 6+24 CH's depending if it a trip rig trip, block time trip or a min pay per duty period trip.

36 days of vacation is 3 full 4 week bid periods off at full pay.

That's it in a nutshell......

So then using the narrowbody ratio of 12.2 pilots I multiplied by the max number of 76 seaters we can have and that came out to 3,111.
