Reserve Full Question
 

Once full on reserve line, are you eligible to green slip? If awarded does this earn payback days for those days that were originally RSV?

Start a 3-day tomorrow and already full at 80:00 for July (17th!) Not sure I have the energy left to fly any more this month anyway.....

I'm no contract guru, but I've successfully yellow slipped after "full".

(Don't judge me, junior in category and all that. Those huge paychecks are addictive.)

Not sure if you get the payback days.

Be very careful greenslipping on reserve when full. You can only greenslip on scheduled x days no matter whether you are full or not. If your GS touches on call days (even tho you are full) you get your pay above guarantee but no PB day for those days.

By the way it’s single pay only. You are on reserve and being full makes no difference.

That’s kind of what I figured. Wanted to confirm my suspicions. Thanks Denny.

Depending on coverage, one thing you can try is dropping the remaining days then GS on those.

You can't GS on dropped (pd or apd) reserve days.

Nope. Per 23.I.13 A reserve pilot cannot get a GS that operates on a day of your personal drop.

I greenslip on PD days all the time. It may be different on reserve but you can do it if a regular line holder.

It is different, he said you can't GS on PD "reserve days", implying that you are on reserve for this restriction to apply...

If you GS on an on call day after you are full its single pay and credit with no PB days (just like a YS). YS come earlier in the coverage ladder so if you want to fly that is your best bet. However, a YS cant take you above ALV+15, only a GS can do that so make sure you run the numbers before submitting your request.
