I was under the impression that I can still bid a flying line for the May bid, because I don't go to school until the second week.
What's going on with them adding two days of reserve at tge end of April? And can I still bid for May? Thanks
call the Company and ask, and then call ALPA and tell them your situation. It seems highly irregular for a mid month addition to a line you were awarded.
As for May, yes, you should be bidding to fly. If you conflict a trip that does not completely fit under your training footprint, you could be subject to a custom line formula to recapture some of the hours that are removed on days prior to your training. Check out that section in the contract.
