I can’t seem to find it. A reference would be awesome.



TIA


Take a look at 26.K.5.b.2:

A pilot's enhanced disability account will initially be zero. Following the completion of each sick leave year under Section 14, beginning with the sick leave year completed in 2017, a pilot who uses less than 80 sick leave credit hours in the sick leave year just completed will have credited to his enhanced disability account the number of hours equal to 50% of the difference between the number of sick leave credit hours he used and 80, e.g. a maximum credit of 40 hours with respect to any single, completed sick leave year.

I think that’s what you’re referring to?

Default 321neo

Now it's official. The 321NEO will come with the Cabin Flex layout - all 321NEO's will be delivered with this config around 2020. Explains the higher seat count on our order announcement.

There’s a line you can use to request any # of consecutive days off within a certain date range, say 5 consecutive days anywhere between Feb 14-28. I don’t remember seeing it until I did my December bid. Maybe request the specific days that you want first, followed by this option in case you didn’t get your first choice days.

They could board/deplane with 2 doors. Nah, that's mind-blowing technology. Better to do it the old fashioned way lol.

“No one has ever done that with 2 doors in the old days,” says this old guy who remembers it was the norm before jet bridges became common.

The A380s load and unload with 2 jet bridges (one for each level). The Q400s use 2 stairs at most outstations that have no jet bridges.
