Does Carry over reduce RSV line value?
With all the carryover on some airplanes, does that reduce the credit of reserve lines?
With less carryover the average would be higher but the lowest lines might still be at 58 or 59. I'm sure it's in the contract but I forgot how it's calculated.
Just another reason to hold suspect the company's true intentions here.
Talk amongst yourselves....

"Section 4.C. A pilot who is awarded a reserve line shall have an RLG equal to the value of an R-day multiplied by the number of R-days scheduled on a reserve line for the bid period package (i.e., up to a maximum of 15 or 19 days). The value of an R-day shall be determined by dividing 96% of the average BLG for regular lines published in the bid period package by the number of R-days scheduled on a reserve line for the bid period package and then rounding that amount to the nearest minute. Prior to any adjustments, however, an RLG shall not be less than the minimum bid period guarantee."
Found it.
Has anyone added up the MD11 carryover?
Any of you MD cats upset about how much more a reserve line would be worth without it?

Does the total number of flying hours the company has to fly have anything to do with BLG? Hint: if the bid period started on sunday instead of monday where would a lot of C/O lines go? Maybe into boosting BLG for the "peons".

Think of it this way.
MEM MD Feb bid pack has lots of carry over into March. If there were less, as in broken up by deadheads, the March bid pack would have more hours in it. This would lead to a higher average line. That would lead to more pay per day for the RSV lines.
You are right in that it has nothing to do with the Feb bid pack. But it heavily impacts the bid packs that follow.
