Second question - Can they schedule me for IOE on my late month X/Golden days and if they do does it count as a reserve GS?
Any reference would be appreciated - I looked in the Scheduling reference handbook but could not find it - I suck at searching documents.
Thanks Scoop
I am unable to offer a reference, but I experienced most of this first hand earlier this year.
As for the golden day in your shadow period…I do not believe you will receive any extra pay. Perhaps a PB. This is the part I have not experienced.
Now what I have experienced: Yes, they can schedule you for OE later in the month over * or X days. If you do OE over them, you will receive a PB day, but you are not a qualified reserve pilot during this time. What that means is if your trip releases after 1500, you will only get the PB days. No PR will be coming your way. (I learned that one the hard/embarrassing way). No extra pay either, since you can’t get a reserve GS if you are not a qualified pilot.
Congrats!
