How to get payback days
I’ve read the contract 23.S.9-12 and I’m still not 100% sure of all the ways to get a PB day.
It looks like only reserve pilots:
-who fly a GS or IA over an X day.
-who is rerouted into or otherwise extended into an X day.
Or a regular pilot who flies a trip into a reserve month over an X day, right?
Are there any others?
Once you earn a PB day and scheduling drops it on your next long call day, will they allow you to pick it up and bank it? Or do you have to time it to win you don’t have any more on call days that month?

To the OP, only crew scheduling can put PB days in your PB day bank.

Anytime you fly a GS/IA etc on reserve you get a PB day/s. It’s is just added to your schedule on the next long call day/s.....it is still a PB day. As you said, one will only receive PB bank days if you will not have anymore on call days left in the month.

So currently, if you get a PB day with days left of res. They will put them on a res day. If you have no days left, it will go into a PB day bank. I think it would be nice to have an option to put PB days in bank regardless if we have days left of res. That way you can build them up. Good idea? Yes or no?

I’ve gone though entire years where I’ve never had the coverage to use a banked PB day, much less find a day with coverage that had a high time day trip to pick up/drop. Also what makes reserve GS so appealing to many is that you can get the premium pay and not end up working any extra because of the PB days. A pilot choice to roll or bank would be great.
