I didn't find it too bad, of course I liked the Star in Accra as well. It looks like I may get a chance to sample more Baltica's as, preliminarily at least, we are going to get Kiev next summer.

You know, I was proud of that shiny bottle too!!

Rub it in why don't ya? Anyway, Baltica is Russian. Obolone is Ukrainian (Get premium.. in the gold label) Chernigerskiy is OK too. Oh, and while you are at it, say hi to all my friends at Docker's, and you are gutless if you don't get one of the locals to dance on the bar with ya. I really miss that place.

The 5:15 lookback is instead of individual rotation guarantees. Your monthly pay is the HIGHER of :

1. The guarantee
2. What you actually fly
3. 5:15 times the number of qualifying duty periods

The lookback is why there are different values for rotations for regular and reserve. Your DPA is on a monthly basis rather than on a rotation basis.

Very hard to quantify one vs. the other overall. Some South stuff was clearly better - some North stuff was clearly better. That ship has sailed - hopefully we can get some nice improvements next contract.

Program the DALCrew phone number then put a , then your employee number and passcode like you normally enter it with the # at the end. Works great every time for me.
Great stuff! I don't know where I'd get this stuff without this thread.

Obolone gold label at Docker's on the bar. Got It. I just hope they don't make it some marathon 9 day trip out of ATL. I do feel kind of guilty for taking the Kiev so how about you take Lima from us?

Nah, we don't want that - I hear it's a redeye back. How 'bout the LHR/DTW six day? I've heard that "just great"!

The Captain on my last Moscow flight spent the entire trip saying, "I really hope that Kiev isn't going to the -400".
