Separately, a year ago, I seem to remember that CS was ignoring anything but the first YS time for SC. Anyone know if they are still doing that?
Well, admittedly I’m not 100% on the middle of LC days scenario but if it functions the same as the following, you can’t waive 18 hours:
pilots who submit a “Preference Qualifier To Be Used Only If Needed To Fly” or “Preference To Be Used Only If Needed For Short Call” cannot be assigned/awarded anything earlier than specified in 23.S.2.a.5. or 23.S.2.c.3. respectively. You are never NEEDED prior to the 10-18 carve out.
