So, did the new 2nd quarter cbts. On the new system accessed via deltanet. It shows me complete. However, icrew still gives me the popup and it also aint showing on my timecard.
It never gave me a completion code to put into icrew, nor can I find one.
Look, my motivation for doing the cbts is 100% to make the damn popup go away.
Anybody solve this?

It doesn't even need to go into open time, the just put remarks on the rotation "reserve only" and send it out to be staffed. It's all done pretty much behind the curtain. It's been my experience on reserve that unless you are rolling thunder, or in a very overstaffed category, that you have almost no control over whether you fly, or not, even considering yellow slips.
The point isn't that they have no possible way of covering 4+ day trips; its that they will want to up the min on call sequence. We shouldn't entertain that.

PSC gave me a completion code to enter.

Actually, it does have to go into open time and they must follow the coverage steps in Sec 23. When they come to the step for out of base reserves, they can add DHs to both ends to make it work and that is where you will see "for reserve only."

Going to training on OCT 1-27 for new plane and position.
They did not convert me in October so I bid as a 7ERB for the month.
Should I bid a 12 day Asia trip for the last couple days of October which spills into Nov and then be bought off it?
Also of note, I drop dead (12 months since sim) on Oct 31.
Could they make me fly it after 737 training is complete?
Thanks,
Humboldt

As to bidding in a training month, there is a great PBS tutorial for that on the PBS Youtube channel and in the PBS Notepads. I'll be searching for them myself in a couple months.

Those days should reach LCW window. Then you'll have shadow for OE on the last 4 of Oct. If you can fit a 737 trip in those days, then bid it. Otherwise you'll just fill up with the training pay.
