It is not "training on days off" as was stated it is getting "training days" at your home rather than having to travel and sit a a computer screen for a week.

Second LUAL's Trip Trading begins after the monthly bids are awarded and is called the "Big Pick." It is a one time, seniority based, chance to adjust the line award before the moth starts. After the "big pick" starts the trip trading is based on availability to drop, the ability to traded directly pilot to pilot and what's in open flying.

Now the problem with the "list" is when one writes, "training on your days off" he fails to say the pilot do gets PAID DAYS TO DO THEIR TRAINING. It's up to the pilot to deccide which days he/she will actually sit down and do the CBT work. A personal discipline issue.

Spin factories at work on both sides.
