I’m in a similar situation. Supposed to train in June, convert in July. Nothing on my schedule yet and have decently significant plans for late June. I know they can assign training after PBS closes, but does anyone know how common that is? Also is there a hard cutoff for how many days notice they have to give?

My last two IQs fell back by 1 month and 4 months respectively so fingers crossed they wait till July.

Looks like someone needs to bid a few high-time trips that touch the May 24th start date. 😁

Do they buy you off your trips if they schedule iq ? Is it good to backload your schedule ?

Bid for as much flying as possible after your training start date if it's not pre-posted, and you have your training letter stating the date.

Optimal would be to bid a nice 20-leg 33-hour 5-day rotation that finishes on the 24th and then maximize credit between the 24th and June 1st. 😁

Nothing here. The manuals and bulletins etc.. showed up for my new fleet, but no training date. Still trying to decide how to bid for June before the bid closes.

I was just assigned a Normal Requal starting June 3rd. Nothing is loaded in PBS. What is the best strategy for bidding? I'll probably be reserve, but I can also try and bid a line if it is beneficial.
