All of the examples show X-days at the beginning of a GS or being interupted at the end of a GS; nothing in the middle.
Thanks for all the responses to the previous scenario. I hope it added to the collective RES knowledgebase.
As Res,
any FDP which
starts on an X-day (converted to base time) will pay above guarantee. In addition, if you start on the last RES day but have <12 to report (or is it 18 now?) will also pay that FDP above guarnantee. This needs to be coded as an "F#1" however, so DBMS knows to pay that res day 'above' (CS sometimes codes it as G#1, which will not reflect that first FDP as GS pay). In your scenario, the first 2 FDP's and any DH credit for those days will pay above guarantee. The third day and any trip rig/ADG credit will go toward guarantee. If you have a choice of trips, choose the one with a lot of block/DH on the first 2 days of the trip. Also, your PB day will start 9 hours after release, which may make the remaindr of that second RES blcok almost unusable, depending on how long it was to begin with. Can be a good strategy.
