Also for the guys that bid overlapping flying. You will get removed from flying that overlaps and it will be coded as DC (direct conflict). DC is unpaid, so for the people that think you get paid for both, that’s a myth.

The most effective way to get removed and a free day off is what Pedro mentioned above. However if you live in base and happy with a paid day off anywhere then bid flying that has days touch (but not overlapping) that creates a 7 day conflict
5 years in and I have never seen a D.C. Code on reserve. I have always been paid for the conflict. Is it a slip by crew scheduling? I highly doubt it. I don't THINK 10 E 1 and 2 apply to reserve pilots. If someone wants to I suggest email the union with the question.
