How many sims can we do in a week or block of R days is the question. What good is the site if it won't give you the "rest of the story" with the answer.
Here's the answer from the FDX.ALPA.ORG
Q: Are there limitations on how many sim support sessions can be assigned to a RSV during a given RSV block or bid period? Are the support sessions" jeopardy" for the assigned support pilot?
A: "A pilot who completes a base simulator support event may not be assigned to perform another simulator support event in that duty period. The pilot shall be provided a rest period of 12 hours or greater. Otherwise, A RSV pilot has the option to do as many RSV simulator support events as he desires since they are voluntary.
Concerning ""jeopardy"", any pilot who voluntarily accepts a simulator support event would be required to perform to the standards expected of any pilot. Pilots who elect to perform a simulator support event need to keep this in mind."
Seems apolitical to me, but perhaps they didn't have this answered yet when you looked at it?
My BIG Takeaway...it's voluntary!
