1 X GS

2 X GS (release at 1445)

3 X

4 RSV

5 RSV

6 RSV



The pilot gets 9 hours free from duty which takes them to 2345 on the 2nd. They have 2 interrupted plus 1 remaining X day in the block. That gives them 72 hours off from 2345 on the 2nd, and they go back on call at 2345 on the 5th. It will show as PB PB PR (2345).



Take the same scenario with a 1515 release:



1 X GS

2 X GS (release at 1515)

3 X

4 RSV

5 RSV

6 RSV



9 hours free from duty goes to 0015 on the 3rd. The pilot now has 3 interrupted and 0 remaining X days in the block. That gives them 72 hours off from 0015 on the 3rd, and they go back on call at 0015 on the 6th. It will show as PB PB PB PR(0015) The end result of a trip releasing 30 minutes later is that they go back on call 30 minutes later.



If the pilot did not have any RSV days left in the month the extra time would generate another PB day, but thats the only scenario in which you get a full extra day.

A RES is RES FULL. He green slips on remaining RES days. Obviously he gets straight pay above his guarantee since he's already at his guarantee.

But does he get PB days?

3259798]The pay will be above guarantee by simple arithmetic (he's already at guarantee.)

The SRH implies what Falcon said, no PB days since they are not X days. It would be like YS'ing.
