That's what scares me with a merger, it will push us beyond that magical number.

 

Yes. The APD will almost always be approved. As long as it does not fall on a holiday (cant remember which ones count as holidays, but think major ones) and there is like 15% of the required reserve coverage for the days you want to drop (Cant remember the exact percentage of reserves required). And it's up to 4 days in a row. In other words, you cant APD one day here, one day there...etc.

PD is a different animal. You HAVE to have above the reserves required available for the day you want to drop. Heck, you could PD christmas as long as there are more reserves than are required. You could PD as much or as little as you want, whenever you want, one day here, one day there, as long as there are more reserves available than are required.
Your APD renews at the beginning of the month you were hired in. If hired on Nov 29th, your APD resets on Nov 1...so use it if you have to before then so you dont dip into the current years one.

 

Nevermid, got it............

 

Hopefully a "new" merger PWA wouldn't be approved without a significant change in the scope language. (e.g. 883 [767 Delta number + 116 Alaska 73's] mainline aircraft trigger for conversion of smaller a/c gauge.)

Cool. Saw you understood....

 

Believe me, I've been trying to ignore the NWA/DAL differences and sing a happy tune. The flat lining of the company illustrates why the rising tide allegory that brings everyone up makes this all the worse. It's more like the lobster in the lukewarm cook pot.

 

It was last time......

 

They realize they don't have to work. No longer sitting voluntary short call trying to pick up a WS to get above 70 hours. Instead one or two SC's and never working the rest of the month because someone else will do it.

I'll use myself as an example. A buddy of mine was typically about 4 to 6 people ahead of me with near identical days of reserve. He now sits in bucket 2 but got there with a 97 raw score. I have 0 hours. So he flew for me. I don't like that system and I'm benefiting from it.

One thing I didn't realize was an 80 raw score is not bucket 2, it's bucket 1 still. So you can hit 80 and be up for a 4 day before someone with 0 hours flies.

 

Nice video, 80!

You are making the 320 look a loot cooler than I thought. Does it play that song on every flight?

 

I appreciate the complement and the push back T. I do.

This is what inspired the look:

My hope is that in context folks here will realize the point is not the SLI but now what do you we got to buy with seniority here. 17 years buys what? I remember scoffing when I heard the plug at UsAir (years ago) had 18 years of seniority. That the plug at UAL and AMR went back to the late 90s (so I understand, may be off).
