MQ MT/ME packets

Not sure where to put this question, this is first time I've had comment/question on this web site so sorry if this is in wrong place :)  I'm wondering about all these comments that sound like the people have already received and read this MT/ME packet that aren't supposed to be mailed out until sometime next week?  Have some people already received them?  thanks :)

I am keeping my fingers crossed.  There have been many, many changes in how transcription was done since I first began.  In fact, in the old days there was no working at home and I have to admit I am old enough to remember doing this with carbon sets and having to correct several pages if you made a typo. 

I am hoping that whatever changes are coming about in the industry that I can adapt and find a way to make it work for me for just 11 more years then I can sit back and bask in the sunshine of retirement with my hubbie.

Were these packets individualized as mentioned days ago on this post?

What is the scoop on getting the 18 days of PTO?  Info I have seen says "up to 18 days" is this based on the 150 per line/40 hour week classification or do you have to do more than that to qualify for the full 18 days? 

On the incentive, so I get that it's 1 cpl for 1200 lines per day and goes up from there.  Would you be willing to post the scale of how it goes up from there?  Or if that's too much, say for example one types 1800-2000 lines a day...what's the incentive amount for that range?

Thanks for the info, trying to learn SOMETHING that will help me put a positive spin on where this is going!!
