A narrowbody pilot can't do that unless you have probably 3 weeks of vacation and a trip with all but one day as spill.
The scenario you describe would be a ws pickup after the month starts and I believe subject to alv+15 with vacation pay/no credit and would depend on open time being available on the right days and right amount of credit. Intl just needs one trip with a big spill value during pbs. Its theoretically possiblee to get over 130 hrs using spill and 3 weeks of vacation on intl working 10 days, maybe less but it would be hard to do.
The two factors are pbs cannot?/does not look ahead into the following month at vacation credit for alv purposes and domestic only pilots don't have huge spill rotations due to 30 in 7:
For a pilot to get 130 hours with three weeks of vacation, they would have to work 10 days (assuming a 31 day month) and that carry over trip must be worth a minimum of 6.7 average daily credit since our vacation is only worth a measly 3 hrs per day (another thing that needs to be fixed, no reason it shouldn't be worth a min day of 5:15). I can't believe that there are that many trips which meet this criteria.
Also, regarding this carryover issue and it relating to wide-bodies:
1. What is the problem?
2. How many pilots does this really impact?
3. What is the solution?
