Shouldn't cost anything to make trips equal credit for lineholders and reserves, instead of reserves getting short changed. Didnt see it in the Ta. Maybe I missed it, I dunno.

Just heard word from my MX buddy in SFO that a 777 Capt's daughter got busted with 10lbs of weed wrapped in aluminum foil on a non rev flight from SFO-ATL. Any word?

That's a big bag of grass, my daughter is in Texas(I hope).

Do we get to move up a number if it's just a no-nev'en daughter?

Just kidding, hope it's not true.

I think you and Shiznit are correct on both Pay Equality, and targetting the LCW (ALV + 7.5). Why on earth would a Reserve fly more, and get paid less all the while?

I guess they decided to use the "white slip pickup" limit instead.

Even so, with all the steps it takes to get to a reserve who has already flown up to the 71-79:59 range, it would take some bad luck to hit a month in the ALV +9 range or higher.

Well the NC did a goo job getting the ADG, and making sure it applies to RES pilots... When I was maddoggin in ATL we could have benefitted greatly from that.

It's a negotiation, we will get it, but we won't get it all at once.
