Thanks, that's how I thought it'd work. Now if I can figure the bucket thing I'm golden.

Nope, it is a simple block hrs to pilot ratio I did about a year ago. Like I said, it does not take in to the account the smaller network we wowuld have due to debt limitations et al, but it ia good guess as to how many other pilots are flying DAL passengers.

Ferd,

I'm guessing 14 days of vacation will be worth at least 140 points.

I'm buyin Delta. I will own you guys.

I will then demand restoration. Problem is that even that amount of money would not buy a controlling share of DAL. You could easily buy RJET, AMR Corp, NKS, but the question is would you want to, or would you want to run as fast as you could the other direction?

If for some reason I won, I would probably just go start a band and more ranch land, and not care if I made it big. Fun to dream, but there will probably be 20 winner, and none of us will even get five numbers.

Why would you quit after all this time and start over at Alaska?

I'd think so. I just did a 2 leg 3 day(that was only a 3 day because of a 0100 release) & it increased my RAW by 31 points. FWIW. I think it's safe to unplug the razor.

Only if your vacation is at the beginning of the month.
You don't get the raw until AFTER your vac.

What? Maybe 80. 42 hrs of credit in the LCW.

One week is generally worth about 36-40 on the RAW.

Well that's a good point. If your reserve days are all stacked before vacation the RAW increase won't do you much good.
