Icrew wouldn't let me put in a YS for first to fly on res days for the trip because of the spill over to a day off. I am going to fly the 28Apr-1May anyway so I thought I would pick up this trip because it has some good overnights. Plus with mil leave in May I only have about 66 hours. I thought adding some spill over hours would be good. I have the YS in for that trip and another four day trip that covers just the four days of res the end of Apr. I was wondering if the two different types of YS's are run at the same time in preference order. I have the 5 day as preference 1 and the 4 day as preference 2. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for the advice for a newbie.
What can get confusing is that you are on a regular line for May, but the first day of the May bid period is May 2.
When you say "the first day of May is a day off" do you mean May 1--the LAST DAY of the April bid period--which means it is a reserve X-day....or do you mean "the first day of the May bid period" which is in fact May 2, AND you are holding a regular line, AND that means May 2 is merely a regular line day off?
I'm pretty sure you mean that you are on call Apr 28-May 1 (April bid period) and May 2 is a regular line day off, therefore might as well put in preferences to fly a nicer trip if you are going to fly anyway, add some hours to the May bid period, etc?
