My understanding is that, domestically, you always get 9 hours added. That is why if you don’t have reserve days available for scheduling to add PB days in the current bid period - then 1500 becomes the magic time to get a “bonus PB day” in your bank since the +9 hours puts you over midnight and into the next day.
It appears to me that if you are receiving PB in the current bid period, then scheduling always applies 9 hours after release to start your PB calculation. That is how you get PR days...because your x-days no longer end at midnight.
I believe you are technically correct in saying the PR day becomes a PB day....but that’s because they are moving days right from release +9 hours onward. What I’d like to confirm is how the new PR calculates at the end. I cannot apply any equation referenced to my schedule and say I understand this process...and I’m confident that is because schedulers have just randomly added PBs to my schedule.
I’m going to have the union schedulers look and explain what should be calculated. I’ll report back.
