Agreed. We probably could have funded a years salary for 6-9 schedulers with just the 23m7 they handed out on 1Dec.

Just what I've made in NoV and Dec on GS and IA when there were pilots on SC available would pay for a scheduler for a year.

Can someone point me to 30 hrs rest = a non‐fly day? The definition of non‐fly day is,

“Non-fly day” means a day or 24-hour period during which a pilot:
a. does not perform flying for the Company,
b. is not scheduled to perform flying for the Company,
c. does not participate in training, other than distributed training (including travel days),
d. does not perform an SLI duty period (including a flex day),
e. is not on Company business,
f. is not removed from his scheduled rotation for the convenience of the Company, or
g. is not on long call or short call.

I can read "g" both ways when you have a 30 hour rest covering a LC day.

You're not on call of any kind when you're on rest.

Will icrew allow you to move X days to add 1-2; days of LC after CQ or does it have to be awarded that way? Current attempts are getting a "violates off day grouping " message. Change would still leave same number of X day blocks. I am assuming it requires a 3 day minimum on call block?

No. PBS allows that, but PCS does not. It's really, really dumb.

Does anyone know if (or why not) PBS can calculate your reserve pay for the bid month? It already knows all the inputs.

Rather than using an outside website?

30 hours of rest is a non-fly day. It meets every definition of the PWA section you just quoted.

You're not on call if you're in rest. That's the whole point of rest.

Makes logical sense, I can also see the argument that you're still on a LC day even if rest is assigned on top of it.

Aren't vacation days and coming from a REG line considered to be in that same category? I thought coming off those days you couldn't be assigned earlier than 18 hours.
