Thanks. Should've thought to look in the definitions, but there it is::
169. “Non-fly day” means a day or 24-hour period during which a pilot:
a. does not perform flying for the Company,
b. is not scheduled to perform flying for the Company,
c. does not participate in training, other than distributed training (including travel days),
d. does not perform an SLI duty period (including a flex day),
e. is not on Company business,
f. is not removed from his scheduled rotation for the convenience of the Company, or
g. is not on long call or short call.
And once defined as a non-fly day, the rest of the PWA verbiage in Sec 23 makes sense.
I'll figure this stuff out by about the time I retire!
Thanks again!
