Default Vto 101

What the heck are you talking about!
You don’t understand?
Do this…
Log on to Vips
Choose Monthly bids from the left column
Under Bid Period Processing: Display secondary Lines
Choose your base and position from the lists.
Pick the VTO line you want to see.
Count the days off.
(Doesn't work all the time - only when the bid is finished, after VTO's have been awarded, before the next bid is open.)

However – in fairness to the VTO line holders with big calendars, this might NOT be the line they actually fly, or ever intended to fly. Sometimes guys will not choose min days protection – which gives them the ability to drop trips of their choosing instead of leaving it in the scheduler’s hands. This doesn’t work well at all from LAX MD-11 trips when 90% of the pairings are at least a week long.
