I’m pretty junior and have never been able to bid an RLL before. Does this mean every pilot in category can now select RLL as an option.
Did something change? Are they calculating this different somehow or has there been a change of policy?
Go to the crew resources page on deltanet and look at the estimated PBS line count for February. That should give a pretty accurate estimate of how many lines will be in your category. In my category there are an estimated 233 lines but the RLL is 268 and covers the entire category. I guess they are assuming people will bid RES and even the plug can bid RLL and get a reduced line if he/she desires.
