About these HVC 757 arrangements, where would they go? And in airplanes the size of 757s do you really get much more range out of them when you replace first class with lie flats? I mean are these NYC-Europe airplanes?
FTB,

I think they're taking the B757ERs they already use on the Transcons, and modding those.

Here's a question about lie flats... are passengers allowed to lie flat with another passenger?

At least Lumber will be easy to spot out on the line, he'll be the guy walking around with the raging morning wood well past the morning hours.
If he was hired when he said he was, he won't be seeing that seat for a long time

On the other hand...MD want's royalties!

On a different subject, don't wheels work better on C-141s?

141s don't give a ****....and don't need no wheels.

Wheels are for girls...and Navy pilots!

Air Force pilots are so smooth, they don't need no stink'n wheels!

Or, asked another way, does recurrent training count as off days, or work days while on reserve?

And that change was made prior to this new contract (loa or something).

Vacation reduces your days off, in the same way as it did under the old contract as far as I know.
Here is Razorback One's December situation as an M88B in ATL with CQ and 1 week of vacation:
ALV: 74:00

New PWA:
His Pay: 78:35
His Days of Reserve: 11 (CVG, MSP, & NYC would have 10 day of reserve)
Full at: 51:06 of credit (ALV -22:54)
Max Short Calls: 4

Old PWA:
Pay: 77:11
Days of Reserve: 15
Full at: 72:00 (ALV -2:00)
Max Short Calls: 5

Overall New PWA improvement:
1:24 increase in pay
2:24 total increase as of Jan 1 (CQ pay goes up) (79:35 pay month)
4:09 total increase as of April 1 (VAC pay goes up) (81:20 pay month)

4 LESS days on call (5 less for CVG/MSP/NYC)
FULL and no longer assignable at 20:54 LESS credit than old PWA
1 LESS short call
