Well, its really not free credit on all conflicts.
This seems to be an unwelcome surprise to some when they score that sweet conflict.
You carry in 3 days from a 4 day. It touches 4 days in the next month. Planning drops the 4 day trip and you get the credit for 18 hours and the 4 days off..nice.
But....the 3 days your carried in and still have to work lets say credits 15 hours. Congrats...they dropped 4 days and 18 hours and you still have to work 15 hours and 3 days in a carry in that you might have already had off with the schedule you bid.
So yeah, that 18 hours they dropped is "free pay" from the company and the carry over you work is free pay you're working to pay towards the drop. NLV = OLV – TD + TA + CI seems to be something that most people dont understand about our conflict process.
Only great conflict are clean ones that end a month and then a line that starts a month. Most everything else is not even close enough to get excited over.
But hey, Moron tells us that its an easy system and everyone should be scoring fat conflicts at any seniority level.
