Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

Either green slip or be inverse assigned...

I do see the "pickup limit", however my wonder is if the "pickup limit" will change if I buy one of my trips.

Yes it will. Pickup limit is hard block time.

Don't know if anyone's answered yet but the answer is NO. If you use payback days to cover a trip, the pay is still considered credit. Your max pick up will not be affected by using your PB days to drop the trip. Best to use the PB days in a month in which you have vacation if you want to then WS a trip because, after the initial bid comes out, vacation is pay/no credit.

Whoops, just read this after I posted. One of the reasons I had such a good month in August is that I was "saved" from myself. Before I got the second GS I tried to WS a trip so I would be high time to try and get Aug.31 off (wife's Bday). (Ticks me off it's now in the September bid month) I couldn't do it even though I had dropped 63 hours worth of trips with PB days. My max pick up was around 8 hours that month.

About 4 days later I got the second GS....

You might think you are too junior to get a greenslip but don't totally discount it. I am super junior in category and have done very well on the greenslip front this year. Remember that once a guy senior to you gets a greenslip, they cannot get another one in the same month unless scheduling goes thru the entire list and cannot get anyone else.

Just to clarify the pickup limit is not hard block time. It is anything that is credit. If you fly a 4 day trip that has 18 hours of hard time but also 3 hours of credit you will have 21 hours against your pickup limit.

That was me and I'm hardly a bottom line holder. There are 58 line holders below me for Nov. I am 185 out of over 280 in category. Is that almost the bottom line holder? Somehow I manage to get all my holidays off as well.
