Something to watch in regards to our scope... it's not a Delta coded flight but they want to sell it from Delta.com?

What? Another Gubmint contract some enterprising Airline CEO Wannabee can get in on? Hey, don't worry, you won't be able to tell any difference... from the article:

"You won’t notice a change. That’s what we want. You’re going to an airport with more options. If you really want to look into it, your biggest change is going to be you’re going to Atlanta and you’re going to spend less money,” he said.
Air Choice One is offering either eight-passenger plans to Memphis. In another option by Air Choice, it would use an 18-seat Jetstream in its second year of service."

Not surprising IMO. 70 hours of pay to sit around all month and do nothing.

I saw that group in Orlando a few years ago. A very interesting bunch indeed. Saw a few really hot nerdy chicks walking around wearing only thongs and body paint!

Can't beat the Adult Film producers convention in SFO, at our old hotel. Just waiting for the rooms was an eyeful.

Anyone know the section of our PWA that talks about when you start receiving the new pay rate after training on new equipment? Searched high and low and I cannot seem to find it.

thanks

So true. Now you can bid reserve and let the junior guy fly twice as much so you don't have to.



Not only does our seniority buy us the days off we want but also the ability to shove our work on the junior guys. CHEERS!!!

all in good fun. Kinda

You are paid by whatever category you are in. When you change categories, you get the new rate on the day you are "converted". That is usually the 1st of the month but not always. They have "mid-month conversions" sometimes. It appears on your schedule as MMC.

Section 22.E.6 talks about when they have to convert you. Its based on when you finish sims. (not OE)
