I don't see how they can continue to pay out the kind of money they are paying to us without rankling the institutional investors. Their problem however. How do we leverage that? I don't think it should even be on the table until after section 6 is completed. Then if they wanna talk about it, I would gladly listen. And I am not sure what you are referring to when you talk about selling beneficial parts of our contract.

UAL 76-400 $305
AMR A330 $293
DAL A330 $255

Those CA hourly rates shouldn't rankle anyone but us.

The bus has been doing a fair number of equipment subs as well. I am happy for it. More GSs. However, we're fatter on coverage then I've seen in a while and I glanced over to the 717 and they're not as bad as they were and in the last half of June they're almost even on required and available. This stuff always ebbs and flows.

So now, to do the IROP RAIN DANCE, Atlanta has been too dry lately. Scambo, 80, ya'll ready?

It's very similar to the 7ER LCA meeting dance.

Of course, that ain't nothing like the 88 Dance Off.

They don't dance. Or give a ****.

Let this be a lesson to Vyper...Move Gold Days to end of reserve windows!
It's likely a moot point, since he will be holding a line in another month, anyway.

How do you move golden days?

Actually how the heck do you get them in the first place? I never get remotely what I ask for and I think I was top 7% on res last month. I can't even figure out who to ask

You bid for them immediately after the bid awards are published. Both bidding for them and moving them are done in iCrew.

If you move it, its no longer golden, just an X not *

I was semi-sarcastic about initial bid. I just can't figure out why I never get what I want when my relative seniority would seem to indicate I should.

As for moving golden days, I did not think that was possible. Playing around in icrew after reading your post, I still can't see a means of moving them.

As the guy above said, if you move a golden day, it just becomes an X day so be aware of that when moving them.

Go to PCS--Leave Requests--Move Reserve off Days. Make sure the correct bid period is selected, too.

how do you move a golden day?

edit: nevermind. bummer. I had 2 golden days and they are back to back, since I have a shorter mil leave block that originally planned I wanted to move one to the x day after the mil days that I had dropped from my schedule.

Pretty sure we'll get those or better.

I still have no idea what you meant by selling beneficial parts of our contract.

Next

Oh, and another interesting thing is that with every passing day, your retirement funding gets further and further behind your gold standards mentioned above. just sayin'

I hope youre right on the former

As to the latter, Id like to have that money. On the other hand Ive been out sick for a month and am really enjoying not giving company access to my medical records. Also happy I dont have to worry about tracking days for next 365/3 years.

Worth it to me.
