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
When the bids open on the 6th she will be able to bid a line. Tell her to bid a high time line as she will be pay protected on all of those trips till she is done with IOE. There is no "OE Line" like there used to be when you finished IOE and were to jr to hold a line. If she bids for a line and is awarded a line then she is just released to fly the remainder of her line if she is on reserve she will be released to reserve.
