Thanks for the Italy info. We're off. Nothing like last minute trips!

If you put in a bid for a line then try to get as many days of flying in on the shadow days (don't know why they're not showing up on your calendar...might need to inquire about that). Try and get a trip that starts on the last day of your shadow period and has as much time as possible: You get paid for it and it is dropped. You then get credit for all the trips you had in the shadow period, and no credit for the trips you do during OE, unless the OE trips turn out to be worth more than what you had dropped from the shadow period.
For your reserve bid just put as many reserve days in the shadow period.

Thanks! Just saw my shadow period ends on the 22nd. So basically try to bid as much as possible to minimize my flying post IOE?
Same for reserve days? Try to bid as many in a row within the shadow period?

Disagree. The definition of "shadow" [emphasis added]:

Any such rotation(s) or on-call day(s) will remain available to be awarded to another pilot in PBS.
Didn't the union just win a grievance for just this, wherein a bunch of new hires had been improperly worked during their shadow? The remedy was PB day(s) added to those affected. About three months ago, if memory serves...?
