Pay bidding question.

My anniversary day is the 19th of the month. I'll be going to year 2 pay and the big pay jump that it is. So I have a regular line and I assume that day's flown on or after the 19th get year 2 pay while any before that are on year 1. Is that true?

Now let's say I get a green slip. Those are paid at the end of the month if you hit the trigger. So to maximize pay would it be best to bid to have regular trips at the end of the month as much as possible and green slip at the beginning? Or vice versa? I ask because it's about 43% jump to year 2 pay.

Also how would this work if I was on reserve? I can't find this example as category change examples are on the first day of a bid period.

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at your monthly PAS (iCrew or DeltaNet). You will see that everything is paid out line by line at the exact pay rate for that minute. So, everything you can out (regular, reserve, premium) into the end of your month will pay more. Green slips do not pay "at the end of the month" like you intimate. They only pay premium if you get to the trigger. The pay rate is based upon your pay rate in that day. Whether it will pay single or double (lineholder) is based up one whether you hit the trigger. Reserve pay is prorated daily, so if you can fit most of your days in the end of the month, you will get more money at 2nd year rates.
