DL read exception two. After 30 hrs this does not apply and it goes to assignment pay. I could be wrong but that is how one of the scheduling gurus explained it to me.

For you MSP commuters, what's the crashpad situation like? I keep hearing that most are just staying in a La Quinta near the airport. I will be on reserve so I am just trying to figure out what will work best.
any ideas?

I agree that the 747 should pay more, but if it did that would just give the company more reason to park them. With fences and WB ego's involved, the 747 and 777 will always pay the same, might as well get used to it and just hope to keep at least 16 of each until the fences come down.

Many have said that since the 777 and 744 has the same number of ships, the fences should come down.

Anybody try and use the BOQ on the Guard base as a crash pad? Just wondering how that might work. I know there used to be a shuttle from the terminal over there, is it still running?

The fences are rather pointless.
All they do is force more pilots to commute.
Psychologically though, they make some people feel "super premium".

sure you're gonna be on reserve? seems like there will be a lot of new hires going there. Had a friend in the next to last class put in a 70% "hold a line" qualifier on the last bid and got it, so you may not be on reserve very long.
