that'd be interesting way to do pay, inflation plus X%.

If we use 4833 that becomes 10,14,9,9 or using 9% 13,17,12,12. That I could live with if we fix scope.

Should I do a speeadsheet?

I converted to NYC 7ER B in Feb of this year. I had close to a week off between my domestic OE and my TOE. I was not even on the reserve availability list in between my OE's. I'm not sure if LOA 31 applies to initial qual or not. So in short, I don't know of anyone yet having to cover domestic trips while waiting for TOE.

Someone will come in here from LUV and post some bogus 10k post... Not sure what is a fitting post though. Some 10k underboob?

Crap, there are only 39 posts to go, now I can't log off, I'm gonna have to sit here an keep updating to see what happens, almost as exciting as waiting for the AE or TA lol.

Flew with a LCA couple days ago, his rumor was 11% and 11%, and 5hours/calendar day. He admitted he got it from an FO though lol...

Flying on mil leave or flying at Delta? Is there a way you mods can do a placeholder?

Like tonight? Although it would be crazy if post 100,000 was details of the TA.

Don't waste your time.

I suggested we should have part of our pay fixed, part of it "at risk", and part of it adjusted to inflation several months ago, and I don't think anyone liked it on APC.

4/8/3/3, for example, would sound better if it would flex from 4-16/8-32/2-8/2-8 depending on inflation and profit. The reason I'm not overly focused on pay is that I want a good contract first, but the reason I could imagine voting for the rumored 4/8/3/3 (with a good contract) is that I don't know what the future holds.

You could have a poor economy, and poor company performance, and 4/8/3/3 would look specatular in hindsight. You could also have a great economy, and high inflation, and be able to live with 16/32/8/8. You could even have some middle ground, i.e. stagflation, and get by on 8/16/4/4, or something like that.

We're remarkably poor at figuring out how to handle the goose long-term, and we're not very trusting of any flexible components to our pay. So we'll always have to weigh the risk of foregoing a decent raise after the economy turns sour by being too agressive, vs. the reward of holding out for the company to hit on all cyclinders, with the right administration, at some time in the future, with our bungholes puckered up that the economy doesn't cough meanwhile.

So, here we are.

You're going to have to slow this down about 25 posts out, with only GD ready to hit send, and ONE mod, to time 100K. Several well-intentioned people will kill the count.
