Drury is pretty cheap and not as nasty as some of the others. Westin has a Delta rate they usually let you use, which for me was the best option out there for the 1-2 times I needed it. That was years ago though.

changed in Rev 3, I'm told
-that’s what bugs me. We’re getti g constant updates to our primary documents without a list of changes published. A summary of new procedures would be very helpful no?

It caught me off guard when the CA flipped the hydraulics back on after the shutdown. I did it like he said it cuz that's my job, then looked it up later. He was right, and I have been missing it for a while now. I wasn't taught that way in training nor on OE. Hopefully everyone else is doing it right, but as I said, I'd rather someone learn from my mistake here.

There is nothing wrong admitting when you're wrong. Or learning something you didn't know. I still find CAs who think the NW area check is FFOD only (changed in Rev 3, I'm told). Heck, I even flew with a LCA who told me O2 and HYD checks after shutdown are FFOD checks, until I showed him. We all can learn, anytime and anywhere.

Now if only the CFM could arrange the cold/dark to engine start in a logical manner. THAT would help new hires a BUNCH!

Quality Inn South and Country Inn and Suites also on the south side are popular. $48.70 and about $55 out the door respectively. The Quality will let you count your stays towards a free night after 10 visits. Only difference that I’ve noticed is the Country Inn has a better breakfast.

There's exactly that, on the first page. Did they not do it for the change that brought on the nose door opening? That's hard to believe.

They do it but the changes can sometimes be somewhat cryptic. I'm betting that change was listed on the record of revisions as "preflight" and if you go to the affected page you can see a change bar in the margin showing where on the page the change occurred but it's sometimes hard to identify specifically what changed.

If you don't know current book like the back of your hand, good luck identifying a change.

In the 900 they removed the requirement for a paper ODH in one of the revisions and I didn't know until I got a plane that didn't have any paper ODH's and looked it up. The record of revision was "preflight docs" and ODH was deleted.

Ha! That happened to me too. Must’ve missed it in a fleet newsletter or something.

Anyone able to assist with the 401K?

There's two options on the website; "Start Easy Enroll and Start Standard Enroll".. Easy Enroll gives me the option for 8%, 10% and 12%. Standard Enroll seems to be a bit more complex.

Starting Jan 1 2018 the company will match 100% of 3%.. So I would think I should put in 6% but there isn't an option for 6%.

Thanks!

Doesn't make much difference. You're just trying to turn it on now, once you've got a fidelity login you can change the contribution amount every week if you'd like. In my experience the changes take effect on the next paycheck (if it's not tomorrow) but I think their documentation say 1-2 paychecks.

Also I believe to capture the full match you'd only have to do 3% as it is 3% on 3% however if you look long term, 15% is a much more reasonable level to have enough money to retire on.

Unfortunately a lot of people get caught up in the match and think that's how much they should save.

The sooner you start saving, the more money it's worth at retirement, so do the 15% as early as you can. You won't miss it.

Investing more is usually better than less, that is true. But before you exceed the company match in your 401K, you would be better off putting money into a Roth IRA.

The best way to do it is to meet the company max match in the 401K, then switch to your Roth(s), putting away into that until it is maxed out ($5,500 single, or double that if married, plus the $1,000 catch up if you are older). THEN go back and increase your 401K if you wish to save more.

Thanks! Appreciate the info.
