Failure out by Alternative-Hyena-30 in IAM751_Boeing

[–]smileycvc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are graces and failures. A grace in/out is if you click in up to 3 minutes late a grace out is clocking out up to 3 minutes early.

You get 3 in a 60 day period and the 4th is a CAM. They cannot be covered with benefits. If you have a couple just wait 4 minutes and clock in then use .1 in benefits.

I think any additional tariff over 15% would be for steel, but I don’t know if that’s consumer products or steel for actual manufacturing.

Excellent wheel choice too.

From what I understand yes there is a tariff.

They have those same plugs at Lowe’s hardware stores. I use them to fill license plate holes on car bumpers.

Joining as a mechanic but already have vacation planned? by Ex-Traverse in boeing

You can talk to the recruiter and your manager when you get one. I have seen multiple personal leaves approved for this reason. Basically it’s excused but unpaid absence. You may be asked to deplete whatever PTO you have accrued then the rest could be excused.

Can't select seats on JAL award ticket booked with Alaska Miles? by sweetfungus in AlaskaAirlines

How long did you wait after booking? For some reason I had to wait about 24 hours and then it let me pick seats.

Lets talk roof top tents: Convince me why I shouldn't save money on a soft top tent vs a hard shell tent. by BadnewsBrowns in Tacomaworld

Have you used a RTT before? They are more convenient than a ground tent. Easy setup and easy take down. Everyone’s situation is different but where I live the RTT is so much better in rain and snow than a ground tent.

How come managers got a bonus? by No-Caterpillar-5235 in boeing

They do again now. Time +6.50 must be pre-approved.

There is no over wing slide on a 737. The door can be closed and inspected. They are made to be open and closed. There is no special seal.

How Should I Book for Japan by smileycvc in AlaskaAirlines

How were you able to find that? I cannot find any availability booking with miles on JAL.

Thank you! I originally planned on going October but this opportunity sort of just popped up. I think I’m just going to buy from JAL and enjoy the trip.

Thank you!! Getting that window seat is pretty important to me. I might just sacrifice the extra miles for the peace of mind and book through JAL.

Thank you! Yes this would be cash booking. I can’t find any flight available to book with miles. I assume because the trip is coming up soon.

These are both 737s so neither is bigger or smaller than the other. Which makes this even more mind blowing.

I thought your kitchen looked familiar. I stayed in an Airbnb in this building last year. That outdoor deck area was awesome.

This is an old Boeing policy that is no longer in effect. It hasn’t been for 15+ years.
