They forgot to get me to sign the NDA.

If still in doubt, call the PBS Bid assist help line. They have always been helpful in my experience.

I just did it last month. The 3 days of the sim count as 3 of your on call days.

Did Skyteam waive their scope clause to allow us to fly those?

I am new to reserve, last month was my first in many years so I can only tell you what happened to me.

I had 3 sim days and 15 days on reserve, I had 13 days off. If you look in your schedule it will show you the days at the sim blocked off with credit.

When you're on reserve and you have vacation, you have to subtract your vacation days from the total days of the month. So for Oct I do this...31-7=24 days of availability. Then I use the prorated X days chart in the bid packet to see how many X days I get. So I was wondering if I needed to do the same with the CQ days. Based in your experience, it appears I don't.

Clear as mud?
