I think this is inaccurate... I am pretty sure CQ is training pay and gets your available on call days pro-rated, just like vacation / mil leave / other training. I am also not sure you can just put an on call day by itself on either side... PBS won't award and icrew won't let you move stuff that creates less than 3 days of reserve unless its the end of a bid period.
Not 100% sure, but I had 4 years on MD-88/DC-9/717 reserve, mostly as a commuter, so I had a lot of trial and error for bidding and moving days around.
Best bet, call Jerry at ALPA in our scheduling dept. He is super duper smart and will tell you where to look in the contract as well.

It may only allow that on the initial bid though, and not through PCS. I haven't tried to move days into that situation, just initial bids which works well in the winter.

This month I have CQ and was able to get one day on call before and two days after.... and I'm in an international category which usually requires 4 oncall days in a row. You are right about the proration though.

Went over tgiving. We have 3 kids, we like have multiple bedrooms. Helps sanity, so as nice as staying in resort would be, not an option for us. We found a nice 3 br condo for less than 100 night.

This is very much off topic, however…
Does anyone have the contact info of the pilot & his wife in PTC who have that SAT practice & score improvement tutoring service? Any positive experiences? Thanks!

No thinking or phone call required. Just access the Reserve Calculator Spreadsheet and all your questions will be answered. This is the first thing I do every month that I have reserve. It will account for training, vacation, leap year
, etc.Scoop

We get a slight discount at the Hilton Bonnet Creek (my daughter loved the lazy river almost as much as Disney.) Talk to the front desk, not "reservations."
