The DTZ doesn’t affect your usage other than it typically brings the reserves available down to the required buffer. Usage obviously depends on base, but expect to get used at least 4 days each block.
Yes, you can X/Y for premium, but you can’t do a straight pick up from OT.
Thanks for this. On the Blue side we get 13 or 14 days off on SCR for a 30 or 31 day month. LCR gets 12-14 days off depending on the month.
PBS awards RSV a max of 6 RSV days in a row, minimum of 3. Minimum of 2 days off at a time. You can change those parameters to work all of your RSV days in one long block or down to a min of 1 day off at a time. The min of 3 in a row RSV days can’t be reduced though.
JB RSVs can list for 200% flying opportunities on days off and/or pick up Premium trips (150%) if it is available.
We fly maybe 200-400hrs/yr. It sounds like less than half the amount of flying NK RSVs do.
