The taxes usually are around $17. Any help would be appreciated.
I've had lots of problems with Delta payroll deducting taxes. Wrong amounts, flights I never went on, etc. Bottom line, talk to pass Bureau, they are nice and will help out!

You might be a Comair Pilot if…

… you are owned by Delta.

… you fly some of the oldest RJs in the DCI fleet.

… you get displaced on every trip.

… you swap airplanes on every leg.

… you fly PPAS.

… your crashpad is the JFK crew lounge.

… you get displaced from your aircraft at least twice a year.

… you are in the FlightSafety building more than usual.

… you get downgraded to F/O after 8 years with the company.

… you get displaced back to JFK.

… if you have a 3 a.m. ready reserve.

… you can’t hold Long Call reserve as a 12 year Captain.

… if you use eMaestro.

… if you believe Comair will get United Express flying.

… you get threatening letters in your V-File for not checking out on eMaestro.

… you get charged $20 to attend a Company Xmas party.

… if you’ve been nominated for an Ovation Award.

… if your company gets a new President every year.

… your Union is worthless.

… you believe Comair will be sold.

… if you believe you are going to get recalled in the next five years.

… if you read the “Comair Updates” thread more than once a day.

Yeah i just got hit up for $150 fine for going over my S2 limit even though I didn't. Last weekend I took my 3 yrs old on a day trip to D.C. First flight in; last flight out(SB flew flew first flight into DCA). Last flight was of course a Comair flight and I used our S2's(my last for the year) to get home. Gate agent cleared us and then the flight canceled for mx and crew timing out. Captain said they were repositioning the a/c to CVG in the AM. I called the mx control to ask the duty manager to get us on the repo flight; which they said no problem. The next morning, the TSA gave me a hard time going through security without a pass. I was going to miss the repo since they couldn't hold the flight, so I called the SOCC and told him we wouldn't make it through secuirty in time. I had to go list for the first flight to CVG. I used an S2 again since they rebooked a bunch of pax and us nonrevs for the first flight and I needed to be at the SOCC by noon. So we got on and got..barely. I got the nice little notice from DL this week and called the pass bureau. She noticed that DL charged me an S2 day from the canceled flight and will call DL to "try" and reverse the extra S2.

Man don't get me going on that. I went to the last 2 schools I worked for thinking that a guy with CRJ time, plus a bunch of other things would be a shoe-in...nah. They haven't hired a CFI in over year. Like I said, I don't expect a thing, but it was surprising to hear from them after all that time.

On Auto....check your PM

If, for your 17th anniversary with the company, you are given three options:
- Pick up a pager, you're back on reserve
- Move back to the right seat
- Be displaced to JFK
