It's still double pay. Deviating from deadhead has no effect on rotation pay at all, although per diem stops 30 minutes after block in from the last flying leg.

Thanks, thats what I thought.

Can I get a confirmation on something I'm almost certain of--if you deviate from DH on day 2 of a 2-day of a trip that is just scheduled for a 1 leg DH back into base, do you still get the full credit for the trip if it's a GS? Are you just giving up a little of the per diem? Thanks in advance!

money to pay the bills delta wasnt going to have money to pay at the time as well as assets, not to mention a stellar pilot group among other things.

****ed off FA's; super premium flying; DC-9's; Memphis; DPA; a upward seniority shift in ATL; stagnation and a general malevolence towards authority.

But we also got Airbi big and small; Detroit, MSP, & Seattle; a very professional pilot group; different perspectives; more career choices for basing/flying; Far East destinations even if Japan is thorny; one less big competitor; & Richard Anderson.

I think they got to combine two airlines and shape it into what is turning out to be one of the best and most formidable airlines in the country….

FTB, how ya been?!

I was probably being a little grumpy. But when I take a look around, I see that compared to whats happening at just about every other airline, we are pretty lucky.

I just didn't see the need to question what seems to be a very successful merger.

I'm going to go get a cup of coffee to remove the grumpiness.
