I believe no and no. The only way he will see that money (all 2 hrs of it) is if he happens to break min guarantee.
Had it happen to me. Went out the airport and sat around for about 4 hrs before they scrubbed the flight. I didn't get one red cent for all of that trouble because I didn't fly more than 70 hrs that month. Or I guess, if I had flown past 68 I would've started getting some of it.

Thanks for the quick response though. Gotta love APC.

sorry for the thread shift, but I'm thinking of moving the family down to the Tampa area. Any of you guys do the TPA to ATL commute? Travelnet shows a 757 every hr or so back and forth, how tough is it for a junior guy to catch the jumpseat? Or should I wait 10 years til I start moving forward on the list?

Seniority has no bearing on who gets the jumpseat, it's strictly first come, first served, but you had better set your watch to beep at 11:57, 7 days out!

You'll never get "a big check" for your bank, but if you are smart, you'll fill up your bank to the 60hr. max while you are a F/O, then bid Capt. and take it out, at Capt. rates. The Bow Wave simply allowed you to drop future flying and cover it with the bow wave. You got paid 75 per month, no more.

If it were me, I'd not do it. Commuting is a real pain with nearly every flight full.

We rarely worked more than 12 days a month, (3 x 4 day trips or 4 x 3 days) that's about all it took to get to 75, and there was zero incentive to go over that, as you were not going to get paid more, just a bow wave or bank. Now we have guys trying to fly 85-90, how many jobs do you think that has cost? That's one of the chief contributors to Stagnation today. You want more Stagnation? Just keep parking trips to get up to 95-110 hours. For every 4 guys in your category who pick up an extra 20, that's one less pilot needed in category, or a 20% manning reduction.

Question, why not go back? I'm open to hear the pro's and con's.

At home watchin the Phillies sweep the Bravos last night in the man cave and the announcers (Phillies Chris Wheeler and Tom Macarthy) gave a huge shout/plug out to Delta. They were talking about how Delta does such a great job for the flight and the catering was very good with some healthy choices and what not.
So it got me thinking, how do I get some of that charter action....its gotta beat the staedy diet of Bogota's I have been gettin lately!
I looked at the charter page on Deltanet, with no success....heck I even searched this thread without any luck. Is it SUPPOSED to be a secret? Does it have a secret handshake and password at the jetbridge?
Maybe you better PM me

Fellas,
I've got a bud who is on reserve for September. He got called out for a greenslip last week, but within a few hours scheduling called back and canceled his trip because they couldn't find an FO. They told him they would give him suit up pay.
Question (s):
Does this suit up pay still go on top of his reserve guarantee?
Does he still get his next reserve day off? (Ala rolling thunder style.)
