its 17 days, with one being an “override” day. They may use you that day, but most often do not. If used, the pay goes above guarantee regardless of you’re actual credit. It will be at the beginning of the end of your duty day blocks. So, most often it’s 16 days, and they can use the 17th if needed, but it costs them money to do it.
most lines are just blocks of duty days, long and short call. You’ll see one block of 17, or it broken into 2 chunks of 8/9 days most often. The trips show up anywhere from a week to a few days ahead. It’s very very rare to have something show up short notice. It’s the easiest reserve system I’ve seen. You know what days you’re available, and stuff just shows up a few days ahead is what’s normal.
there are a few lines with scheduled flying, those go a bit more senior and are around 75-78 hour lines.
And is it 12 or 13 bid periods a year?
