So, you come on here and open up a vein about your mom's surgery, and soak up well wishes and sympathy from NewK, Timbo, Carl, and others.

In the very next breath, you wrote that. What's wrong with you?

Tell you what, since you care so little about everyone not named tsquare, don't bother trolling for sympathy here next time you need a hug. And you might try finding some friends instead of living your life on an internet message board.

I said nah. He said, "okay, I'll start. My son's girlfriend is hot, I know they're out in the car having sex so I told him to take it upstairs. There is no God. Bush belongs in the Hague."

I was laughing so hard, I had nothing to say. We were polar opposites but I enjoyed flying with him.

Flew with him. Hilarious. Smart too ... he will take either side of the debate. Keeps the crew alert.

I'd support a Chairman's Club for Bell. He makes the bidding spreadsheets for all categories. Who has time for that? GREAT GUY!!!

Vacation Slide

Is it a safe assumption that if you are senior enough to avoid being unstacked, or whatever it is called these days, that any legal vacation slide will be awarded?

Thanks Scoop

Thanks Scoop

That's a tough one. I'd say your chances are good but I think there can still be capped reserve days that might prevent it.

Yes, provided you can be built a legal schedule with the vacation as slid.

You divide the guarantee by the number of days in the bid period and multiply by the number of days you're NOT on vacation, CQ training, etc. Then add back the value of the absence.

80 / 30 * 16 = 44:16
Vacation = 14 * 3:15 = 45:30
Total pay = 89:46
