For the new hires now being paid per diem...
If I was in Denver March 9th-March 30th, do I need to fill out two forms or just one and put the dates?

The saab is amazing, I couldnt agree more with the love for the saab.

Seniority on the saab, for me, sucks though.

The complaints of cold feet, long days and small towns will fall on deaf ears.

You are talking about a pay cut of maybe 200 a month. And for the record I wasnt complaining since I live in a very cold small town, and I would personally care less what ears it falls on.

ConnectionPilot, about your perdiem question: call your rep or the MEC office, thats what they are for! I wouldn't recommend the webboards as the best source on this type of thing.

Alright, thanks. Was an ALPA rep suppose to be in touch with me already? I haven't heard a word, so I don't know who exactly to call when I have specific questions.

See I would recommend the webboards for this...but I'd mean the ALPA webboards. www.alpa.org You have to call the help desk during business hours to get your online password, then goto the MSA webboards. Alot of the alpa guys from our company frequent those boards.

I second that, real technical contract issues/questions where you need the right answer post on the alpa mesaba web boards. The reps sometimes frequent those. And for Connection Pilot I would recomend calling your MSP FO rep.
