I was able to get on via the separate iCrew page, from there to Flt Ops. Regular paycheck is there, but not PS.

As far as GS vs WS, the reason guys fill up with WS's is that they are junior and they realize they will never see a GS, so they fill up at straight pay and take away "your" GS. The temerity!

That is a compelling reason to have a system where you just put in WS and all flying over certain thresholds pays a premium. You could even have it such that guys projected above 80 (for example) go after guys projected under.

That way you don't have the "do I put in for a GS or WS?" decision, where the pilot has to make a best guess based on a lot of factors, and after the fact never has to say "had I but known that junior guys were getting GSs then I wouldn't have put in a WS"... or vice versa.

I'm not even sure that I am in favor of such a system. All pay systems have their pros and cons. But this is a discussion that will no doubt continue.

That seems more fair. But a been-counter would prefer the current system vs paying everyone 1.5x over 80. Plus, there has to be a carrot for picking up a trip on short notice.

I must be missing something. After filling up my 401K I had about $5700 left over. The deposit shows a little more than $2100. More than 60% taken out.

For me = PS Gross - 401k - 40.55% - DPMA dues

The $$ you put in your 401k do not escape:

FICA at 7.65%
ALPA at 1.9%
DPMA

He's saying that although the money you put in a 401K is fed tax deferred, it is still subject to SS, medicare taxes and DPMA contributions in the month it was earned.

Well you could have a true bid system in that you can offer to work that trip for 1.25 x or 1.5 x pay etc. That would be a true capitalistic system.

Just wanted to let you know that the profit sharing amounts can be "back doored" in away. Tomorrow's regular paychecks are on Deltanet and there is an amount under the YTD column already for the profit sharing.
