They have been open since last week, and are being assigned the day prior.
Do we know if anyone has gotten a response from the scheduling committee or their status reps?

How does our standby list work; if two S4 are listed for the flight, the first one to check in (up to 24 hours prior to the flight) gets the seat correct?

Incorrect. S4 goes by employee DOH for standby list priority.

Well, Leonard posted since we have been talking about this so he is aware of it. Of course he was just posting about getting the nk talk to a private, more alpa friendly, venue. Yes I just said more alpa friendly than apc.

Can anyone shed light on the 401k? Are there many fund choices? Does the company accept roll overs from previous emplyeer 401k? Are you guys happy with it?

I don't have any problem with Schwab. The only problem I have is that it's a 9% match instead of a 16% contribution

I'm sure you could roll it over if you really wanted to. I think most guys roll it into an IRA at their institution of choice however. Talk to your financial advisor.

The fund choices are decent ( about 1 choice per category; large growth, large value, mid-cap growth...etc.). I was impressed with the Institutional Index fund, only has a 0.04% expense ratio (lowest I've ever seen). When I was hired, I rolled my old 401k into a rollover & Roth IRA. More fund choices and I trade stocks and options on the side, so it made more sense for me.

We need facts to file a NCC.
I encourage folks to collect and submit data.
There are still FO open trips, not posted.
The ambiguity of these trips held for possible training, is easily avoided by indicating OE instead of open.
Thus far the open trips have been assigned to reserves.

Just keep in mind that the funds offered, altough they have the same name as the real fund, have a different 5 letter code. That is because there are additional management fees so Schwab can get their kickback. It may sound petty but remember you are paying those fees even on a down year. The management fees are charged on the entire principle not just the gain, year after year.
