WS/GS Question
REG in June, off last 5 days of month
RES in JULY, off first 9
If I want to pick up a trip that has some spill, is that allowed? How does it affect credit for July and if I want to put in a generic 3 or 4 day, how would I do this in PCS?
Thanks

There is however a big gotcha. Trip credit is paid at the end of the rotation so would go against your reserve guarantee for July. That means pick your trip carefully!

I'm projected to go to 7ER requal in Oct, and my current CQ cycle is Aug-Oct. I'm 1 from the bottom, so while I'll bid to avoid going early, I get whats left.
Is it worth a call to resources to suggest delaying CQ, or will they laugh me off the phone?

What about a normal 4 day, with 15 hours in June and 5 hours of Spill?

As miserable as I was answering the max cracked window speed I really felt bad for that Captain, luckily he had studied pretty hard despite the fact it was the end of his time on the jet.

Some guys just put in a blanket GS for every day of the month (perhaps they are very rare in their category) and may get one or two a year. That doesn't mean that they actually have to be available. But...if you say "12 hours notice required" and scheduling calls you for a GS 18 hours out, it is yours.
