HOWEVER, you will lose 3 hours (or maybe it was 3.9) of pay for each day you take from your min. guarantee as it is not days off, but rather days absent. Best to not take more then you absolutely need. We do not have move days in our contract so you lose pay when you ask for days off (absent) for a move.
Good info. Another possibility, supposing for example you're IAD based the 31st and DFW based starting the 1st, is to ask Crew Line Adjustments to assign you to DFW on the 31st and use your preceding days off to move.
