I have 77 hrs and want to add a 3-day trip that is 15 hrs. It denies it because credit 92 hrs is greater than credit cap of 91:30

I've heard you can take a trip on your schedule and let someone borrow it? And then add the trip from opentime, and then take back your trip from the pilot?

How does one go about doing that? Do you select "Direct Trade" and enter the crewmember ID? When they get that trip, it doesn't count against their credit cap, correct?


And another silly question, why not just give your trip to another pilot, and then just take the trip right back? Would that work? To get around credit caps? Eg, just give my 2-day trip worth 10 hrs to a pilot, and then take it back from that pilot. Would 10 hrs now be pay-only and not count towards my scheduling credit caps?

Thank you!

Once you trade and then trade back it becomes a P2P trip and will show up as convertible credit, allowing you to go over. I would swap it back right away, before picking up your other trip, just incase the new one would put you over some 117 limit and then your buddy is stuck with your trip

Just did exactly that. Thank you!

ANC
 
With the new bid out, what’s the expectation for how long to hold ANC for a new hire?

Airbus bases are SFO and LAX.

Not sure when the window will be open again, but if I had to guess I’d say relatively soon. Probably depends on COVID and what they predict their staffing needs will be in the near future.

This is just a guess, but I would expect to hold ANC out of training, or on the first bid after training.

Anyone know of actual interviews sent out? Still three emails and “app received” on the site
