Also what's the priority for yellow slipping on a day off? Do guys on working reserve days get trips before guys requesting it on days off? Thanks.
The credit goes toward the guarantee. No payback days. Take a look at the contract, but the assignment sequence is different depending on the time to report. If I remember correctly, under twelve hours a pilot on x days goes ahead of long call pilots.
I have used the yellow slip on x days, but only a couple of times. Once to get a good trip on my last x day and avoid a crappy trip on my first on call day, and the other time in an effort to fill up early and have the last week of the month off. Worked perfectly both times.
