Not a staffing genius, but I would think that it has to do with letting current pilots bid on positions before new hires. They probably will not fill all the 172 FO slots and those leftover will be assigned to newbies. In addition international aircraft usually carry more FO's than Capt. as there are 2 FO's and 1 Capt. on the 3 man crossings.

Were you on call or off?

Either way though, you make that determination.

As a reserve when are we considered full?

Reserve guarantee is 75:30 (77:30 Avl) in my category and shows 92:30 as Max reserve for the month. However, I had a week of vacation, two 5 day trips, and a 2 day. My credit is 56:42.

Thanks for any responses.

Yes. You can't on PD days though (pretty sure at least).

The issue both had was theft. If your a gringo any property you have belongs to the locals if they can grab it. You will get zero assistance from the police. If you are going to be gone half the month you must live in a compound with private security. Even then budget for new TV's often.
The other issue is taxes. You will owe all US income taxes so make sure you will not get taxed again by the country you live in.

Not sure. The Company would not want you to drop your sched and pick it up at Premium Pay. But, I've been in the situation where I screwed up a blank WS, dropped a PD on it and got something else right away.

Behind on the honey do list, I will look it up tonight if someone smarter than I does not know the answer.

Any guesses as to why the ER is going so junior in ATL? The A320 and 737 are remaining pretty senior.

Crew planning should stop threatening fall displacements. ... although it might be a strategy to add another couple of Type Ratings to a Certificate that already does not fit in Delta's computer. 767>displace>717>bid A320 it makes more sense than a goat porn fetish, barely.

You can do anything you want on a PD day. Don't confuse a PD with a APD.
