Does anyone know how long the extension is good for? I thought it was 60 days, but saw it referenced in a base newsletter as 30 days. I’ve already been extended 30 days, but that expires next week. Wide body FO about to get displaced, so wondering if they will even try and bring me in at all, with 150+ on reserve, they don’t really need me

The FAA allowed for 60 days, but Delta decided to only use 30 days and only for those with 500+hrs in type.

If you lose currency due to the company’s decision to let it lapse, do you get paid reserve guarantee or min line guarantee? ~72 hours vs 65 hours

Assuming here that you go full months without recency.

They left me alone this month with a 4 day lapse between currency and CQ. I would take the bet for 7 days in June.

You still bid like normal and they have to pay you whatever you are awarded. The key to pay protection is filling out the iCrew prompt that asks for 14 days availability when you get within 30 days of expiration.

First time I've been in this position. I just filled out the template with my upcoming reserve days. Does one have to be available to train on off days in order for pay protection to be in effect?

Nope. Any 14 days prior to recency expiring.

How do you fill it out? I'm get the option of clicking "ok" then it takes me to the normal home screen. Where do I input the days of availability

You get the iCrew notification well in advance of the requirement to fill out the template for a recency sim. iCrew will lead you to the template when you get closer.
