Second, you have 4 days vacation so there is 26 days of possible reserve days for March, which equates to 10 "X" days and 16 days of reserve. You are credited already with 13 hrs.
If you fly zero to 65 hrs in March, you get the reserve guarantee of 78. If you fly over 65 hrs in March, you get paid on top of reserve guarantee.
Now a different game. You get a line. Vacation, while bidding, counts as time and credit (can only bid a line up to 87:30 and you have 13 hrs already credit). Once bidding is over, vacation is credit only now. So if you fly 70 hrs in March, your credit is 83 hrs.
Example (this happened to me in Nov): 2 weeks vacation (45:30 hrs credit) Bid a 3 day trip worth 26 hrs, so my Nov month was 71:30. After bidding was over, I dropped the 3 day trip and picked up a 10 day trip worth 62 hrs. Nov total was 107:30 (62 + 45:30)
Clear as mud?
Crewdawg,
The Bolded sentence above is incorrect. 78 is the guarantee before the vacation adjustment is taken into account. On reserve a week of vacation will raise your guarantee about 4-5 hours and two weeks of vacation will raise your guarantee about 8-10 hours.
In this case I put 4 days of vacation into the reserve calculator and the exact guarantee would be 80:36 or an increase of 2:36 above standard.
As far as no category having an ALV of 80 - I have no idea, I was just responding with the information the original poster provided.
