Ok. Here's a surprise. I don't understand something about the contract -- again.

For the first time since we have switched over to the new rules, I am senior enough to pick up some good trips in open time.

For next month, I'm thinking about picking up a white slip trip that will take me well over my original credit time. (75 now, new trip will take me over 100)

I remember that there is a restriction on your block hour limit and have researched it. From my calendar and research I don't think I go over the block hour limit. (Lot's of DH's on this trip)

But, on the bottom of my calendar is also says MAX P/UP 12 hours. So, I research this and come across this little tidbit for white slips....

"Your projected credit may not exceed the ALV + 15 hours for your position."

Which means I can't pick up the trip without dropping something else that keeps me below 88 hours.


So, here are my questions:

Is this right? I can't pick up this trip without dropping something else?

If so, how is it I was hearing stories about people getting 100 and 150+ hours of credit last year? What did they do. What can I do?

Thanks in advance for any help or clarification.
