You said that they are dropped wherever they are needed? what does that mean? Is there any chance I could see one of your bids or lines? I am Confused because if your work or are on a trip the 1st 5 days of the month and then off 3 days and do it again for the next 2 weeks after the 24th of the month you still have 6 days left in the month? does that mean your off or on call?and how would the 18 month flex work? I think its easiest to understand the 7 on 7 off. but I would like to look into a job that wouldnt be gone always 7 straight days. thanks so much for your help..
After 15 days of work in the month you are off.
On the 15 day, I would call crew services the last week of the month and they told me when my 5 day trips would be for the next month. The scheduling computer already knows when you are needed. I always worked those trips exactly as they were fragged. I was never on call.
I don't know how the 18 day works other than you request the time you want off, long or short trips, and the computer generates the schedule for the next month.
I also don't have experience with how the vacation works with the 15 day.
