At least I won for a few hours.

Yeah I got my second choice as well so don't really care to see anything rerun. I guess if mistakes were made though maybe it is only right.

I have a good run going I haven't worked a single holiday since I was hired. Good luck and junior category do wonders for QOL.

Can anyone tell me what happens when you max out your 401K? In 2011 I guess I hit the max of $17,000 going to the 401K, but I know I had more taken out than that. Where does the rest go, and what is the 415K? Pretty ignorant on this because I've never maxed out the 401K before.

Btw the 415c limit is somewhere around $50,000/yr. It is the total amount of tax advantaged money contributed between you and Delta.

Per ALPA there were some issues with vacation bidding and a communications should be out soon about it. Sounds like a rerun is in the works if not already done. Also they can't award two weeks if I didn't bid enough lines so mine was a total faux pas.

The 415K is the IRS code for the DC plan, it's the total amount put into both your 401K account and your DC account. That amount is what you and Delta have contributed and is limited to $50,000 per year.

Thanks all about the 401k. Yea it looks like I hit the limit in the first paycheck in Dec, and that explains why the second one was a little bigger than usual.

your paychecks just end up larger

I put my anniversary week of aug 16 as my first choice (having never not held that), and then christmas... then just started listing 1,2,3, 4...

How the crap could I not hold anything from April all the way through the middle of October? Something definitely was jacked up.
