for example:
This gets more confusing the more I read these posts and the union message from last year. It's also pertinent to me this month.
Example numbers:
I didn't bid with any specific strategy in mind, but was awarded a line of 89:54.
This is my vacation month and I get two weeks.
Vacation credit: 45:30
Total block flying awarded in bid: 43:57
Soft time: :27
With this information, can anyone tell me if I'll end up "working for free" if I pick up any trips? If so, how much? I want to avoid any "free flying" for multiple reasons. Someone told me that you can just look at the trip trade $ figures in crew companion, and if the amount goes up when you add a trip to your schedule by the expected amount, you're good... but reading this thread makes me think otherwise.
