Default FDX - Training/R day conflict question.

If I bid a recurrent training period beginning on the second day of a block of R-A+, will this "split" the block or R days, or will CRS drop the first day of the block as well for a legal rest period prior to RGS. Bottom line, will the whole block go away or will just the first 3 days? Yes, I have read the contract (sec25.C.11).

TIA

I did the exact same thing about a year ago thinking I had split the block. They dropped the first day and I got screwed. Ask Mongo, like me, he has screwed this up before. Seeya in Memphis.

That's they way I figured, so instead of 38 of 42 choices working for me, only 32 or 42 do! I still like my chances!

Oh yea, thanks for being the point man!

You just need to ensure that you have 12 hours off from the end of your reserve period to the start of you event, 8am start for ground school, or your brief time.

I too learned the hard way.

That's right .....split the R days to include the 12 hour buffer.
