Q 13-100) Will dropping my line credit using the Trip Board negatively impact my accruals for vacation, sick, and longevity accruals in a bid period as long as I maintain at least 37.5 credit hours for that bid period?
No. Your vacation, sick, and longevity accruals are protected just like your Defined Benefit “A-Plan” accruals are protected when you voluntarily reduce your line credit by transferring trips to other crewmembers using the Trip Board. You must, however, maintain a minimum of 37.5 credit hours in the bid period in order to receive this protection.
