Two things:
The photoshopped Lee and Carl pictures made me laugh really hard.
I hate our rsv system. 8 days in a row for me working made legal by a 30 hr layover! Blargh!

Hey guys, just noticed my direct deposit for Jan31st paycheck was about $1200 less than my Dec 31st deposit last year..I am a 330fo on reserve most months and have not changed any withholding from last year. This is the "small" advance paycheck , I hope this is not our new reality with the present tax code. Anyone else notice the same thing? Only thing I can think is that maybe I hit the max 401k withholding before the end of the year and the paychecks were larger reflecting that change.

Upon request, the dispatchers can add "Local Maneuvering Fuel" to your required fuel total, it allows for approach maneuvering. For example, you can ask for this when you anticipate long downwinds into ATL in IFR wx. Yes, a long downwind/final can put you overburn easily by 1000# and the flight planning software can't predict that. LMF is also useful when your takeoff weight is limited by your maximum landing weight on a short flight-- this will increase your projected burnoff and allow more payload to be carried.

One more titbit-- dispatch has a lot of tools to help you. Many of these things are transparent to the ALP, just give them a call and ask. Remember after you block out on a flight, a call to disp. must be on a recorded line, so call on ATL radio, or if using a cell phone ask for the call to be recorded.

You lost 2 percent for the new ss withholding. You could have lost your 401k contribution and your 401k catchup if your over 50 and maxed them in 2012. If you flew a lot you could have maxed the 415C limit in which case the company 14 percent is paid as cash rather then a retirement contribution until the new year starts. Go back on Delta net and compare your 31 Dec statement to your statement today. Much easier then speculating on the forum as to what happened. They do make mistakes so you should look at the checks.

Just boredom. I like to split hairs on stuff like that. The FAA interpretation of "planned fuel burn" and the process in use at most carriers is night and day.
In the Sabre flight planning software you could tweak how much extra time and gas each airport got. Chicago and Atlanta was 10-12 minutes, Jackson, MS was 0. You just tracked the overtime and overburn and...
Ahhh forget it.

BTW, if the oil painting was $36,000, just imagine what the copper statue with the gold plating cost!?!

Watch the Fix to Fix burn too. The Bus does automatic abeam points doesn't it? Even from SAV to ATL?
