Yes... it might be that his wife was a Hughes girl. He was on the jumpseat and had some pictures of some of the banana jets.

SF is former Hughes AirWest.

I am certain about this. I've known him for 25+ years.

Lets see if I have this correct:

2) I lose 9:20 of pay for taking 2 real vacation days

Say it ain't so, Joe.....ACL, Slow, T, Carl etc.
I think everything you said is accruate except for the pay. I believe the four days of vacation don't show up in your projected credit. But you will be paid for the vacation. This would be the same as someone who had a line for the month and was showing low credit hours for a month where they have two weeks of vacation--they would be showing some seriously low "projected credit". You're not actually "losing" pay in the end. Others, I'm sure have the correct terms and a better explanation, but that's my simple take of it.

The last I heard DFW was going to be four flights a day two E jets and two mainline. The list posted only shows one frequency each so this may just be the initial load on the initial slots. You guys do remember that this stuff is in two phases.

Great post FTB. I would love to have RA expand on the opportunities he sees with AMR 's filing. There are a lot of possibilities and then reactionary responses to each of those.

Everything's right except your pay. It will be 60:40 + 13:00 (4 days vacation x 3:15) for a total pay credit of 73:40. You'll make 3:40 above reserve guarantee. I think this is right. Seems right to me.

I think you're right Hockey. I had a reserve month recently and that's how it worked out. Vacation on top of the guarantee.

Just read on Dnet that the One Great Team passes have a new extended shelf life and are now eligible for upgrade to business/first. The extension I don't have an issue with. However, allowing those with remaining passes the option to upgrade seems a bit unfair to the people who already used theirs and didn't have that choice. I realize the economy only restriction was based on some technology limitation but still.

You can have mine. Too much trouble to use them as a "benefit".
