5-E-6-c FDO (Flexible Day Off): a reserve day off that, for a Basic or Global Reserve, may be disrupted for the assignment of a Basic Trip and, for a Global Reserve, may be disrupted for the assignment of a Global Trip. Without the concurrence of the Pilot and the Company, an FDO may only be placed on the first day of a period of days off and may not be placed after a period of six (6) days of reserve availability or on a golden day off as defined in Section 5- E-9.
5-E-7-d For Global Reserves available for the full Bid Period, schedules shall be constructed with the following:
5-E-7-d-(1) one period of six (6) consecutive HDOs; and
So.. I just went from 8 IMM's (Immoveable Days Off) to 6 HDO's.
