Filling up the bank question-- if we just fill the bank now, before Jan, will we be able to pull it out in Jan at the 8.1% higher wages (or whatever the raise is)? I've not used the bank, so not super sure when/why I would do so, but in low / out-high seems good?

I had him confused with the guy who married that chick from Mork and Mindy. Or was that the guy who played him doing that stuff in the ABC after school special in the 80s?

Why? I would rather have my $$$$ now. If I wait a year, I lose 10-12% in gains over a year. "Planning on upgrading?". Lol.... You sound like Lumberg. Nothing but sideways for quite some time.

Yes, it will pay out at the higher rate. You can only put in hours over 80 so you will really have to hustle these last few months to do it.

Nah, Mark Harmon married Mindy.

And they say Jack Tripper on Three's Company had nothing to do with Jack T.Ripper. I call shenannigans.

When a guy does this to a girl, it's called letting her down easy. We put out - signed that TA for them. Now we are wondering whether they really love us, or were they just saying that late at night in the back of the car? Our mommas always told us, why buy the cow when you can buy all the milk in Alaska, France, and the Netherlands for free (or something like that). We might get mad at them now for taking advantage of us. They're not worried, though. They'll see us again in about three years, tell us how beautiful we look, and we'll forget all about this time.
I really wonder about an airline where 2/3 of the pilot group deluded themselves into thinking the result of that TA could be anything but extended stagnation. The rocking chair lives.
