Wife is in IAH now for aircraft training and class will be done the end of March. She's a returning voluntary furlough and is senior enough to hold an EWR line. Couple questions.

1. Can she bid for the April month? Either a full on bid or at least put in a standing bid?

2. Will she be assigned a line(s) with a check airman (if that's what it's called)? Or just go on reserve and be assigned check rides/trips throughout the month? Or something else?

She never seems to get anybody on the phone for these answers when she's on a training break so I figured I'd ask here for her.

Thanks
