When does training scheduling go into the LCA's trips and designate if they are IOE or not? I thought I remember the 25th but don't know if that's accurate. Got a couple LCA Trips next month.
Thanks.

Figure 5-7 days prior to trip. Inside that if I see something better in open time I'll swap.

Help a brother out. I know there is gouge (ALPA product I think) on how to best bid to maximize cash when attending training [when not a new hire].

Can someone point me in a direction? Not anywhere Id expect to see it.

Thanks

In addition to the YouTube vids, you might look here:

PBS Help

In particular, the Reserve Pay Calculator will allow you to see what you will be paid for a RES line. Also, pay close attention to the Shadow rules when deciding how to bid.

They sometimes do print a list and go from that ahead of time, but that's for their convenience. AFAIK there is no provision allowing them to bypass pilots with legit requests in prior to the awards.
23 M.7. allows schedulers to deviate from the coverage sequence "to maintain schedule integrity", but it requires them to also pay the pilot who should have gotten the trip in the coverage sequence.

If you call the DALPA scheduling committee, they will research it and make sure the correct pilot gets paid. It may or may not be you.

Allow myself to quote myself.

Reading and watching those links....not seeing a clear way to affect my payday much. Bidding to put as much stuff in the shadow period?

Help?

When does the shadow period usually show up? My training ends in December and the training days are showing up but no shadow.
