If you'll forgive me to assume that it is, how is the pilot paid? Is there a min per day, or is it a training pay credit?
If an XJT pilot bids a 4 day, or a 2 day over the training event, the pilot will be protected for the trip value. So if they had to drop a high value 2 day worth 13-14 hours, pilot gets that 13-14 hours pay credit.
Edited to add;
As you say, under PBS the 2 day would not be given to the senior pilot due to conflict, so it goes to the next pilot down the list with the same preferences and no conflict. Under line bidding, a 4 day may be broken up, creating a 2 day that will be in the LIW. A junior pilot that could not hold either with PBS OR line bidding would now be able to grab those trips.
You are correct. We are now moving to AQP and after Feb, everyone on their annual PC will do AQP. That is a 4 day process which will end up being a 5 day at least for those that don't live where the sims are. You get min day for a day you only DH, then training is paid at 4 hours/day. The really sucky thing is this is preassigned activity therefore you cannot bid to conflict. Also, this 5 day ordeal is worth 19.86 hours. Something else that needs to be corrected.
