This only applies to "banked" payback days from a previous bid month. If you are on reserve and get payback days from a GS the PB days are put on your next reserve days. If you don't have any reserve days left in the bid month then they are banked to be bid later.

Scoop,
I looked forward one page and didn't see this addressed, so here's my $0.02: You're making iaflyer's point (and mine): So what if the junior guy is at the end of the list at the end of the month? That would mean no one senior to him flew enough to get into bucket 2! So what if he's at the end of the list after only working 7 days???? That means the guys who didn't get into bucket 2 flew less or none. Does it really pain a senior guy that they may have to fly, but end up not flying?

GG,
First off, I don't think we are too far apart. I do not - repeat, do not want a system that enables the senior guy to routinely take a month off if the junior guy is working his butt off.
I don't mind a system where the senior guy gets an easier month (RAW 15) and the junior guy gets an easy month (7 days working, bucket 2 from the above example).
Are you saying its not fair that the senior guy gets a very easy month and the junior guy only gets an easy month?
Secondly, I hope this will shortly become a mostly academic argument as continuous movement starts (after being stalled at the bottom half of the list for 12 years) and no one stays junior on reserve more than a month or two in the NB FO position, which is really the only positions system-wide where being junior is not a choice.

Hey Buzz, can you TEVO the Tebow Show for me? 
I've got to go to Dubai tonight so I'll miss the Pats-Bucks preseason game. I just want to see if Tebow can throw, and the Bucks have a new kid at sencond QB as well, I'd like to see what he's got.
Should be interesting but I'll miss it. Friday night, 8pm east:
Patriots host Buccaneers in 2013 Preseason home opener

Out of curiosity Bar, or anyone, say an airplane pancakes into the runway or ground flat with the mains out, what kind of vertical speed descent rate would be fatal? I think airplanes have landed at 1600 fpm before?
