Worst case scenario, the CPO will give you PDs for that august occasion. Congrats!

Nope, unfortunately I haven't had those in a while.

Oh, I will get it off. I'm just trying to figure out how best to do it. If it takes a visit to the CPO, so be it. This is one of those milestones in your family's life that you cannot miss. :)

Oh, and thanks!

Just dealt with this Feb/Mar. Here's a good source. Relevant stuff about the 11 min. mark.

Thanks! I just watched the relevant part and it looks like I can bid a short period of days on call at the end of the month, say 3 days, but still bid the first days of the following bid period off. I think this is how I will approach it. Seems like I will have the most options this way. Thanks again!

Highly inaccurate. It was around 9,000 issued in 2014. 2015 should be similar.

I wonder if that includes certificates issued to Chinese, Korean, German, British, or other foreign nationals doing their flight training in Arizona or Florida.

Thanks. Sounded insanely low but 9000 seems really high. Why then are the regionals having so much trouble finding help?

Rolling 365 day block hours. Suppose to help guys who are close to 117 Limits. Notice the numbers probably decrease through the month.
