Has anyone had to do Covid verification under the new rules yet? Would a CVS drive-thru lab test count? Or is there a more convenenient at-home proctored version? Most of the online proctored options I found seem to be discontinued, and I don't want to go through the trouble of getting tested just to get it rejected by Delta.

Video/gif posting was killing me last night. I had Goldmember doing “that’s a keeper” primed. Did something change in the last few weeks?

Can you be forced to do CQ in an early month? I bid avoid as a standard bid, and whamo! Forgot to bid CQ golden days and was force awarded something I didn't bid.

Yes. Always look at the number of CQ pairings and compare it to the number of people in the window (early/may/must). If they're equal, with few exceptions, you're all going. This is why I always recommend bidding all the pairings in the order you want them. You just never know whose golden days/absences will keep you from getting a pairing you want. Cq is one of the times that your seniority doesn't always win. |

edit: disregard, found it. PSA... iCrew > Personnel > Training/VTS > Display/Update Recurrent Training Specifications don't look under Bids because it's not there |

That's what I expected as a response. Thanks for the quick reply. BTW... Full disclosure, I forgot I could designate CQ golden days. For future reference, do you know where and how? SRH says "Pilot designates CQ golden day(s), if any"
FYI, I have been able to trade CQ dates before after a family emergency dropped my first month, and I got screwed in the second. It's the one thing that doesn't have to be from your base. If you put out a broadcast on FB, you might get a taker. You might also try the CPO - occasionally they have awareness of someone else looking to fix a 'problem' for one reason or another. Good Luck. //Break, Break// Also, for any lurkers, iCrew will give you a popup on the first day of the bid month in which you need to bid CQ Golden Days. Don't ignore it. You can bid for anthing between 0 and 6 consecutive days. Once you bid it, you cannot be awarded a pairing that touches your golden days, so don't necessarily use all 6 if you don't need it (unlike Reserve Golden Days). |

It's in iCrew. I have to go hunt for it every time. It's not intuative: Personnel>Training/VTS>Display/Update Recurrent Training Specifications

DLnet - Crew Resources - CQ bid packages - CQ bid requirements. Find your categorgy and the total number is at the top. |
