Wait until the 17th to call. I think you will find the eXtra day gets added once your schedule is published in iCrew vs the early look at the PBS bid results.

I want to strongly emphasize this. There is no "call" to be made--the only contractual remedy, and the only venue that will guarantee you get a call or email back from the right people, is to submit a "PBS Bid Inquiry." You can do it right now, and I encourage you to do so.

While your question is regarding a reserve line, if it were regarding a regular line, if indeed the system had an error, your entire category might have to be rerun (it has happened before)...IF you submitted an Inquiry soon enough.

It is easy enough to find. On the new DeltaNet it is in the same list of links where the awards are posted.

If you're still in SEA 330A, looks like 13 is the correct number. 30 day month, 75 hour reserve guarantee, with the extra reserve day.

PWA 12.n.2

That isn't correct, it used to be done that years ago. Now it's all done in PBS, and you bid all your X days at the same time.

If I fill up my reserve obligation and still have 3 reserve days left do they become X days? Looking to see if I can GS on those days and if I will get PB days.

Also I should have a line next month if that helps.

You should show full on your schedule and yes you can GS. Payback days are a beautiful thing!

Reserve days after "full" aren't treated the same as X days for GSs.

Unfortunately you WILL NOT get payback days for the part of the GS that was flown over previous "on call days". Those days do not become X days or * days and thus are NOT eligible for PB days. I've been in this situation multiple times. It's a definitional problem. Even though you are not obligated to work for the company once "Full" they are still not by definition X days or * days. Thus no payback.

So, getting a GS once full over original on days is no different than getting a YS. However, you can't YS a trip that will take you over ALV + 15 so the only way you could get a higher credit trip would be to GS. But no PBs.

Sorry

Flew on that from ATL and I think it went to ABY, Moultrie, maybe Thomasville, and finally Valdosta when I was headed to Moody AFB, late at night back in '68. Thanks!

Why do some rotations have a + in the top right corner of the wide report?
