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

Can you build a reserve line that only has a single day of availability prior to a 4 day CQ period?

The way I read the 3-99-5 rule The 4 days of CQ count as "days on" so it would actually be one five day block.

Is this correct, or would it not be awarded? I reveiwed the PBS gouge but it seems to contradict itself on this topic.

Note: I intend to check with the PBS help guys just thought I would throw it out here also.

Thanks Scoop

Let us know what you find out!

I do this every chance I get. It works well in a NB category, and I'd imagine even better in a WB category with long trips.

@jonostrower is the WSJ aviation reporter, he's very good. Used to be a blogger at FlightGlobal before WSJ picked him up so he actually knows aviation.

@comebackdaddy is a entertaining read - she's the wife of a UAL pilot, shows the other side. She's got a blog too that's not bad.

@renewedPilot is a UAL pilot who's been through the double-furlough there, he's entertaining. Has a blog too.

BTW, if you're a mil retiree, the 9/11 memorial is free (make your time reservation online). Discount for all vets.

That's the plan. May as well make the most of it.

In other news, rookie mistake. Not only did I miss by a day when trying to book my JS to work, I realized it didn't matter anyway as the flight I've been lurking the past 2 months is an RJ on the weekend. At least I was able to book a JS later in the day on a 2-legger. Hopefully the RJ has some room and I'll get my direct flight.

But that's when the airplane -- and the passengers -- are smelling their very best. Especially after a 9-hr flight.
