Up to 14 days prior go into travel net. Select company business booking and pick the flight you want and create a listing. 24 hours prior notify crew scheduling and go to Delta.com and check in. Upgrade to economy comfort or a exit row at that time and make sure you select standby for first if you want that.

PWA 8E:

You must be a lineholder (if you are a RES who must ask permission from CS for a front-end)

You must notify CS within 24hrs of the report of the scheduled DH.

May book within 14 days.

Company Business.

DH can't pass through your base or exceed the original number of DH legs.

You still get the hotel but you have to figure out how to get there.

Your per diem now starts at report for your first live leg.

I think.

Just to follow on, there is a great explanation in the Scheduling Reference Handbook that you can download on the ALPA site.

I keep a copy on my laptop and tablet and reference it multiple times/month when something I don't do frequently pops up.

Perfect, I wasn't sure if it was crew business. All done, thanks all.

Rental property is a good shelter. Or start your own mining company.

23.I.7 exception two
For purposes of a rotation that is scheduled to begin in one bid period and end in another, prior to the close of line bidding for the second bid period, a day(s) within such second bid period will be deemed to have sufficient reserve availability, provided that such day(s) does not fall within an APD holiday period as described in Section 23 I.8. a. Exception
The way I read it you should be able to drop a carry out trip if reserve coverage is adequate for the month the rotation starts.

Don't many of the deductions for rental property like depreciation phase out above a certain income level? 196K?

Default In-laws on health insurance?

Has anyone investigated having dependent parents (in-laws in this case) added to our medical bennies? They live with us. We have the Gold HSA. Or is there another, better alternative out there?
