3. I'n last bid, how may CA slots went unfilled.
Thanks in advance.
FSB is 4 hours. There is no extra pay until your 3rd UNUSED conversion. So if you are converted 3 times and assigned a trip all 3 times you get exactly 0 extra pay.
Global reserves have the same 12 or 13 days off as the domestic fleets. The difference with global is that a block of 6 days is dubbed "holy" days off and cant be touched. Your other 6 or 7 days off you can be rolled into. If rolled they will put a new day off somewhere else on your schedule. You will still have the same number of days off, you just won't know when they are. That's the rub with global. Not good for those who need more schedule certainty.
I count 167 unfilled captain positions, between 737 320 and 75/76 (only 1 unfilled here).
