So, when I know the CQ dates, the CQ Golden Days become irrelevant (won't affect line/reserve assignments) and I'll have a better idea how to bid that month. I'm finally starting to see the logic behind how things flow. In the beginning it seemed to be a bunch of unrelated days/times/dates.
The CQ golden days are really a hold over from when they posted training with no regard to pilot input. Now that we bid for training they really have no function unless you are junior in category and can't hold any of the training slots you bid. They then provide you protection for those days.
