In case they offer another partnership proffer now in May, be careful. It has cost me thousands of dollars! I have never been in hightime flyer, but since I had taken a lot of time off in 20907 this past year I worked an average of about 55-60 hours per month and caught up to my 420 in June of 2008.
In partnership they subtract 35 hours from your 420 threshold every month, but what they have omitted is that they do not add ANY of the hours you have flown this month and subtract the hours from last year! I understand subtracting 35 hours from your total, but this is so wrong. So this month I was 3 hours short of my threshold and now owe the company $1200 for Cobra. This will be almost covered by the hours I flew! The union claims it is implied... Personally I think it is BS, but the one who really end up losing are the future furloughees. I refuse to work for this company for free! Were any of the flight attendants on here aware that this was implied? They really are in bed together aren't they?
