LOA #13-01 – 02

2.
New Hire Pilot 401(k) Contributions
Amend Section 26 C. 8. c. to read:


For pilots hired (or rehired) on or after January 1, 2013, provide for automatic pre-tax employee contributions from earnings (unless the pilot elects otherwise) equal to 5% of earnings, beginning with the payroll period next following or coincident with the 90-day period following the Employee’s date of hire (or rehire), and increasing by 1% of earnings each year thereafter, to 10% of earnings.
Yes, the LOA is still in effect. All that means is that they will automatically elect for you to contribute the above amounts. Unless you change it. See bold above. It's easy to change. Takes about 90 seconds once you are set up on the 401(k) site.

This LOA does NOT change what the company puts in for you. The company contribution goes in regardless of what you put in. In other words, if on day 1 of new hire class, you elect to take your employee contribution to 0%, the company will put in their full share.

Thanks for clarifying. Just about had a heart attack. I see now that it clearly states "employee contribution".

New hire here. I need to bid for my initial aircraft in a few days. I should be able to choose between 73N DTW or 717 ATL. Looking for any opinions on either. I live in MSP if that helps.

Thanks,

Fins

I would go 88,320,73n. 88 and 320 are in MSP. Rumor of 73n MSP base.

Have a friend that use to do MSP-DTW. Said it was a pain because of all the former north guys now forced to commute to DTW to fly the big iron since they closed the MSP 742 and 330.

I've heard MSP-ATL is also tough. I think there are a number of dispatchers that fly that route and they can book JS earlier than pilots.

Like someone else mentioned, -88 if it's available because you'll have a chance to get home based quicker. Very important to most commuters!

Of the two, I'd go 73N. I really enjoy the trips on the aircraft and it's an OK plane to fly. I haven't flown the 717, but the trips are similar to -88 flying, and I didn't much care for those trips.

Moonshot, would you say that "ease" of commuting from MSP is to NYC, DTW, and ATL in that order?

Which bases in NYC do the various aircraft cover? I heard the 88 is JFK/LGA only.

And anyone junior in seat/base who can comment on commute to DTW from BOS and/or MHT?

What about for a low seniority Detroiter? 7ER, 737, or 717?? (most spots are NYC and ATL)
