If you're not being sarcastic, I apologize... I misread your tone. I'll lay off the caffiene.

Haha no worries. No, not being sarcastic. I’d laugh too at someone suggesting that you should check res coverage before a WS

Those people exist.. Better watch out, because they’ll voice their anger by viewing your schedule every time they disapprove of a WS

Those are the same people who never read the PWA and can't accept or comprehend a gain outside of sect. 3.

Are hours in the “addtl pay only” column above guarantee? I have no idea why there are hours there for a trip i just did. We had a 4 hour mx delay midday on last day of trip, and arrived in base 3 hours late. But i cant figure it out. 5 hours of add pay.
thanks

So even if your dropped some trips you wouldn’t pick up a broken trip that was a majority of credit due to DH allowing you to get back to GS trigger?

And a RES GS will always have some premium, even if on an on call day.

There’s also half a dozen videos on the ALPA website breaking down pay line-by-line. Boring stuff, but in depth.

They're only rare if pilots in your category don't know how to bid min credit without a set condition. Most pilots should be able to stay in the 60s if they're bidding right.
