Boog, you have some varying numbers there, but this is how it is supposed to work. You call in sick for your 42 hour 6-day. You would have one SICK entry on your time card for the full 42 hours. You call in well effective for day 5 of that trip. There should then be two entries on your time card, one for the amount of sick time used while you're actually sick and a second entry for the amount of sick time used after you called in well. If days 5 and 6 of your trip have a total of 11 hours of block and there is 6 hours of credit for the trip (always applied at the end of the last duty period) then your two time card entries would be 25 hours and 17 hours.

If you then picked up a 12 -day trip worth 72 hours that touched the footprint of the original rotation, 17 hours would be used to pay back your sick leave hours used after you called in well and the remaining 55 hours would be paid out to you. This would give you 72 hours of flight pay plus 25 hours of sick pay for a total of 97 hours.

Another example would be calling in sick for a 4-day worth 21 hours (exactly 5:15 block each day). You call in well effective for day 3. 10:30 sick time used while sick and 10:30 sick time used while well. On day 4 you w/s and fly a 2-day trip worth 10:30. The end result would give you 10:30 flight pay and 10:30 sick pay for a total of 21 hours.

It's a TRANSCON monster. Does well from anywhere east to west. Its also quieter than the -800. The summer will be a challenge with the lower cruise ceilings.

Jesus. Does everybody on here live in San Diego?

Just the navy guys. Air Force guys prefer Malibu/Santa Barbara.

Thanks, everybody. I saw the greater frequency with the bigger planes to DTW and thought, "Man, I've gotta be missing something."

Seniority matters. If I'd come on the property one class earlier, I'd be able to hold LA. As it stands, I'll just barely be able to squeak into the SLC 73 when I come off mil leave.

So what I'm saying is, Helloooo Vista! You guys will all be invited to the housewarming party.

Hey! WTTF?? "Air Force" and "navy" in the same paragraph and you only capitalize Air Force? Something tells me that was intentional.
