Looked in the contract and I did not see how NQAT (non qualified) days are handled for credit/pay. I have NQAT days at the beginning of the month, training days, and then shadow days. Training's worth 3:45 a day for each day I'm scheduled for actual training, but what's the NQAT pay? From earlier posts I get that the shadow days pay whatever I can get scheduled in them.
Do the shadow days get pushed to the right if your training is eventually scheduled to be a day or two longer than what is showing on your PBS bid calendar, or do they just disappear? (i.e. I think I'll have some off days from training in between classrooms/sims; right now in PBS the training days have the whole training scheduled without an off day in there).

Bump.
I'll whittle the questions down to one: what credit do you get for days that are listed as NQAT on your schedule?

As for a shadow, it is for bidding purposes only. Again it would show up on the calendar. Once the month starts it doesn't matter anymore. If they delay your training/OE it could end up dropping later trips but that doesn't have anything to do with the shadow.
Also keep in mind that you can't WS/swap/improve your sked through pcs until you complete OE...

You just have to be above the number of projected line holders and not able to build a regular line due to some pre award.

I would bid a blank line in a minute. There is always PLENTY of open time to fill a schedule in my category...If I decide to work that is
Looking at a blank line might be bad...I might decide to take the month off!

Also I didn't realize we didn't have the 2 hours to commute anymore as I haven't done RSV this year. So what exactly is the difference in someone taking 2 hours to get ready and drive to the airport or to be on a plane and land before the 2 hours is up?
Is there something that says now we must acknowledge within a certain time limit or call back or something? If not then why can't someone just commute in and acknowledge when they land?

In regards to the 747 replacement aircraft, we all know RA loves used airplanes. There seem to be a lot of carriers looking to part with used 777 aircraft right now to buy newer technology. I'm wondering if we are going to grab some of these because they would be available much sooner than a new aircraft. Just have to see who is taking delivery of new equipment right now and what they are parking.
Or we might be picking up some used 330's from some island in the pacific...well pilots come in that deal I guess so not really a gain.
