Does anyone know what you have to do to get time out of your bank?

New Delta guy checking in

99,

I've been lurking APC for years. Thanks to many on board here for a wealth of information. Thanks to Albie for advice and info. ACL65, love reading your posts.

I've been reading everything I can about the potential Alaska-Delta merger. Being a Washington state native and a big fan of Alaska it would seem to be a bit of a shame... but being a new Delta guy who would love for the merger to happen, I'd love for this to take place!

Something I'm not clear on, the "poison pill," this large amount of money that would have to be paid to terminate the Delta codeshare agreement. How much is it? What are the terms? Would it make sense for American to move on Alaska?

I'm totally stoked about this possibility and would love to hear any opinions/gossip/rumors/speculation about it.

Welcome to the boards. contribute and network. It is amazing the amount of pilots on here I now consider friends, and not just a screen name.

You can go up to negative 20 in your bank. It gets paid back above 82 hrs in five hr increments or that is what I recall.

What you do is go to Option L or BANK. Put a request in for what you want.

Go to DBMs, click on "pay/hours" then click on "bank", then option 1, 2 or 3, depending on what you want to do.

Yep I knew there was a reason for those DRC assesments.

IMHO, a deferment of 10 years could be argued that any 777 that comes aboard now would be replacement aircraft for those 787. You can bet this will go to an arbitrator.

Don't really have a dog in this fight as I am around SSN 4000 and I'll never see CA 777, 747 or 787. However North pilots senior to me would've seen 787 seats before they retired.

This isn't about moving bases (777 to DTW). It's about what an expectation from the SLI in regards to WB growth seats should have produced.

It is also possible that an arbitrator could 'split the baby' and award seats on new 777 that would replace the 787 on a 1 fDAL and 1 fNWA ratio.

No telling what an arbitrator will decide.

I believe it is negative 30 hours and the first 5 hours above 80 automatically repay if you're in negative territory.
