Let's say you block-in at 1530 as REG on last day of the bid period. REG to RES.
You squeeze yourself on the employee bus amongst all the P.F. Cheech & Chong's and Skunk-Fil-A workers who still reek of that morning's pre-shift clambake and head to the parking lot. Then it hits you. "Do I have to do a 1600 pre-release sked check because I'm RES tomorrow?
Or do you simply begin 18-hour leash at 0000 later that night?
I know that if you fly on the last day of a bid month as a reg, the early schedule check does not apply because it’s not a non fly day. I just assumed it was only if you flew on the last day of the month prior as a reg pilot, but it seems it’s anytime you are a reg pilot the month prior and sit reserve the 1st day of the bid month
