Hey, my VCR is correct, twice a day! 
And FTB, you nearly moved up a number just now! I've got a bad head/chest cold going on right now, and then I started reading your earlier DA explanation post.
When I got to the "Man Spread" I lost it. I started laughing so hard that I started coughing up crud, but then I couldn't get a breath in, thought I was going to die.
Not bad enough I can't go down an escalator without first pausing to look behind me, now I'm not even safe at home on my couch! You F/O's are a sneaky bunch of bastages!

It basically is a very bad deal. Happened to me in Nov/Dec. Avoid it or swap trips.

The footprint of the trip that spills into Feb will count as reserve days. All of the credit from the trip will go against your reserve guarantee- in other words, if there is very little flying on the days in Jan, you are working those days at a very steep discount compared to what you would earn in Jan if the Jan days blocked 5:15 or if the trip ended in Jan, or if the trip had no credit.

Can't swap. I've tried all month. I'm a line holder and looking at bidding reserve due to a sweet Feb vacation 12 days(sarcasm). Reserve guarantee is 74.30 in Feb and trying to figure out if it goes above guarantee and worth bidding reserve. Seems I will have 7 days on call if I bid reserve. Just wondering pay. Thanks
I may have spoken a bit overly harshly, I'm sure there are circumstances where it could be to your advantage- but pay to days worked in January probably will take a hit (caveat- I havent seen the actual rotation, so this could be over generalized).

I believe the Pilots get 1/3 of that (1/3 of the $650M). You would have to go back and find last year's number to see what that translates to, as a % of our total pay.
The number I keep seeing thrown around is about 16% of your W2 total, (for pilots) minus the 5% we already got, so on Valentine's Day 2015, we should see about 10-11% as a PS payout.
10% is an easy number to figure, even for you mathematically challenged guys, and be sure you tip your hat to Uncle Sam by paying the AMT when you do your income taxes, this year and next.
What would be sweet is if we could put ALL of it, tax deferred, into our retirement funding, rather than paying 35% of it back to Uncle, but since the cap is so low, you WILL be paying for someone else's Obama Phone.

Okay just spoke to ALPA. In simple terms the only benefit I get for bidding reserve with 14 hrs of carry in is the 14hrs goes towards reserve raw score. Total bummer. Contract fix maybe?

From today's all pilot memo, what's this mean
All pilot memo, 2015 a look ahead.
"Hire, upgrade and train pilots to support operational reliability as well as network and fleet growth—including the delivery of four A330-300 IGW aircraft and accelerated narrowbody deliveries"
Accelerated narrow body deliveries. What did I miss...
Thanks, kargo
