Search for the "PTC MPG PAY Calculator" Excel spreadsheet in the eLibrary at
ual.alpa.org
Plug in your info for the month via the pull-down boxes and it will give you the info you are looking for.
Generally speaking, if you want maximum days off MPG will drive your strategy. The calculator will show you how many hours you need to work for a legal PBS award as well as how many hours you might work for "free" if you bid for more than that.
