Only true if there are the same number or more reserve days remaining that current month. Otherwise the PB days go in the bank and you can place them anywhere you want as long as there is coverage and without the other constraints of moving/dropping days.

So technicaly speaking, sometimes you can put them wherever you want. Its fairly common especially for days earned towards the end of the month where there is no place to put them that month.

Section 23 U. of the contract.

GSWC

A pilot will be removed from a rotation(s) on his regular line that conflicts with a GSWC rotation(s). Such pilot will receive:

a. single pay and credit for the removed rotation(s), and
b. single pay, no credit for the GSWC rotation(s) flown.

The Scheduling Reference Handbook on the Dalpa website also has some good info starting on page 51.

The section is 23 G 5 from the PWA. I argued the point that the LCA can actually release you since this is how it is written:

5. An LCP may remove a First Officer from a rotation or any portion thereof for the purpose of conducting OE.

I was in the exact same situation where the sign in was early in the morning and crew scheds wasn't releasing you unitl 7pm the night before. I had called the LCA and he said I could be released because he had already contacted the pilot getting the IOE and he was already in position. The company and the union said that they had a verbal agreement to do the 7pm release the night prior.

Fast forward a couple of months and I had another IOE trip being bought, however the LCA wanted the FO that was being released to show up planeside and he would release him. He said that the FO was being paid anyway so he at least had to show up. This lead back to the last conversation about scheduling doing the releasing. The LCA wasn't happy but I was released. (just so you know we only had one LCA in NYC on the ER that wanted you to come planeside)


Had the same thing happen a few times, and it is 100% contractually legal. The issue is no show IOE students where they have to cover your flying they pre-released you for. Same with SAQ and TQ. Capt's sick out at the last moment and then they are covering the entire flight not just the capt or the IOE student.

Five plus years ago on an initial IOE (First time in a command seat when we had F/E's upgrading to F/O's) they required the original FO to ride along for the first four legs.

I have seen the non release after the two IROPS this last winter. I was not pre-released in case of a sick out last month and as luck would have it the Capt called out less than six hrs before sign in.
