I'm set to go to training for the 320 on 5/10. PBS is already showing 70:55 for the month from 5/10 to 6/1. I also have PTP starting on 5/8 (I'm assuming the 48 hours before you can ask for). Will I be expected to have 2 on call days to roughly get to the 80 hours if RSV? Should I bid a line and hope I'm not awarded any trips since I'm already crediting 70:55?
Also where can I find out more about my training schedule? Or do I have to wait until this bid posts? I didn't realize you bid time slots when you do the AE, so I want to know how screwed am I?
The LCW starts at 74:00, so you can’t bid a line and get no trips. Assuming you can hold a 2 day trip, you could bid for “award pairings if pairings length=2, limit 1”. You’d still work 2 days but get paid 81:25ish.
As for reserve, go to johnfbell.com and use the reserve calculator. It wiil tell you owe 5 days of LC, and the pay would be 91:34.
Your choice…
