It’s income and they did negotiate it for you just like your normal paycheck. My problem is that it’s income but the company doesn’t count it when contributing your DC

If anyone has ever wondered what a sheeple was, here you go.

Lol! Care to explain what you mean by that? Asking a question means that you follow without question? Isn't that the definition of "sheeple"? Or are you one of the keyboard tough guys that just wants to come on here and demonstrate your superior intellect and anonymous toughness?

Thanks for the intelligent response Qotsa. This is why I asked the question; to get opinion in order to form my own. Too bad this forum is full of individuals that just want to ridicule others.
I agree with you that it should be levied against by Alpa as income and that would be a nice DC contribution!

Works on the company ipad / EFB, iphone and my macbook.

On an ipad or iphone, go to the app store and install Microsoft Excel app.

In Safari, Go to the spirit ALPA page and go to the calculator.
In this form it doesn't work. In the upper right there is a box with an up arrow, next to the plus. Touch the box with the up arrow.

You'll be able to AirDrop or swipe left/right along the options until you get to Copy to Excel.

In Excel, save the spreadsheet to your iPad / files Folder. After it's saved you'll be able to use the calculator on your iPad.

Same for the Macbook. except you'll need to install a paid copy of Excel on the MacBook as opposed to the Excel app on the iPad.

I think Delta contributes to the pilots DC for their profit sharing checks. Wait for a second I forgot we were talking about something else. We don’t get profit sharing, that’s right

ALPA is the reason you're getting it in the first place. So yeah, ALPA should get their cut too.

Alpa is getting a cut. How long from DOS to the first bonus payment? Just want to point out that 75 million at a modest 2% interest bearing account is $4110 per day. Does Alpa keep that or is it added to the second payment?

They said about 45 days or so, they need about two weeks to verify everyone who is getting a payment and the company has 30 days from then to pay.
