If I bid a line, what would a max, norm or min credit bid do for/to me?
Would it be better to bid reserve and hope for some rolling thunder? If so, what would be the best way to bid days off to facilitate the thunder?
I just don't have a good feel for how vacation affects the bid.
Thanks...ExAF
One week is 21 hrs of pay and credit to the LCW (ALV +/- 7.5 hrs), but after the LOT's are posted you can pick up to ALV+15.
As a reserve, a week of vacation is 21 hrs and four extra days off.
Not exactly sure waht you are looking for.
Depending on your category, Rolling Thunder may not happen. Many are still overstaffed.
