Nope. 5 day Trip assigned tomorrow. Current trip releases 1730 tonight, tomorrow reports at 1440. I should have 3 PB days and 1 PR ending 0230 on the 20th.
Crew scheduling fishing it seems. I would be the only 5 day RES avail tom but that doednt override PB days starting after GS over X or PB days.
Past / current practice is to add them beforehand (makes their life easier I guess), but the intent is that they are added when the rotation completes.
Scheduling Alert 20-13 (incorporated in the SRH) titled “X days beginning at other than midnight”:“Although the scheduler may place the additional days off on your schedule at the same time of the award, realize that the additional days off
don't apply until you complete your rotation.”
PWA 23.S.11, 23.S.12:
9 (13 hours if ocean crossing) will be added
upon their release at the completion of the rotation and then 24 hours per X day interrupted.
If the anctual end time of your rotation is for some reason later than the scheduled end time (reroute / late ops), the SA/SRH direct you to contact scheduling to update the PR.
The reserve assignment falling either on the PB/PR days or within 18 hours of their scheduled end should then be dropped. If it is not (but all FARs are complied with) you’re looking at fly now grieve later. The violation would net you A day assignment pay (block + MU of A day, 2 hours minimum). An affected pilot would also be due.
