That's incorrect. Any trip that touches shadow days is dropped with full pay, even if its just one day of the trip that touches the shadow period.

It hits your schedule for about .69 seconds to establish pay/credit purposes, then it goes right back into the PBS pool and will get assigned to someone junior to you.

Valid. I guess my point was that any trip that touches your shadow period during PBS line construction will be dropped and that sets the floor of your pay for the month.

Also keep in mind, A320 IOE trips are currently running ~48:01 from 44X to IOE.
I would expect that IOE on 320 to be completed almost entirely within your shadow period. I have to give that planner credit, there is some real creativity that I have seen recently.
