How would it get deducted from your paycheck if you dropped a trip?
Or if you dropped to 0?
I’ve heard responses, but just trying clarify.
Also, if you have a very important single-day event a few weeks just after you are projected to be off OE, or even during OE, would it be possible to request that day off?
Thanks!
Frowned upon by the company? HAHAHA...this isnt SkyWest.
You drop whatever you want, its contractual. They can suck it if they dont like pilots using their contractual and arbitrated red/green system.
Drop to 0, you get $0. I assume you'll have to cut them some cash to cover medical if you drop to zero. Not trying to get deep into this hypothetical but you would owe them back the 36 hour advance on guarantee for that month. But its zero pay.
You can request that day, but they are under no requirement to honor it. Best to keep ahead of the schedule and talk to crew train before its on your OE schedule and when released, talk to a crew scheduling supervisor the minute youre released, and ask if they can honor that day with your build up line you will get once signed off OE. CrewTrain controls your schedule on OE and Crew Scheduling controls your build up line once the paperwork is submitted. You can wait a few days, you have to act quick when released to the line. BUT once you get your build up line, you can drop whatever trips if they are green because you are using line holder rights for that month.
