Weird. I had the forever loading screen in Internet Explorer but it worked in Chrome. Oh and then when it opened I quickly realized the calendar was worthless - unless I am doing something wrong (probably) the landscape calendar prints on two pages. :confused:

Read your contract. You don't get the carryout credit.

Read your contract. You don't get the carryout credit. Another gotcha with shadow bidding is if you request a day off during OE via ICREW and they can give you an OE trip on that day, you will have to personal drop your shadow trip on said day losing that credit.

I called ALPA about it yesterday and they must need to read the contract as well since they told me to call the PBS administrator to have the shadow credit added to November. I read it quite often, I wouldn't have asked if I knew where it was. Do you have a reference?

Page 11-12 of contract.

Thanks for the reference. That example directly contradicts 11.5.a.2. I'm definitely going to pursue this with ALPA since I'm looking at 25+ hours of spillover time. Fortunately I still had near ALV+15 during my training month of October so even if my interpretation is wrong, I didn't lose anything bidding the way I did in October.

What are best practices for intl jumpseat? If the flight is full, where is the jumpseater usually placed? Is it a major irritant for the working crew? I'm looking at < 11 hrs on a 777. Never done it, and want to know my options. Thanks.

I had a Sep carry out trip dropped for OE and the carry out credit stayed on my time card and on the PBS calendar. Helped me get a line for Oct where I wouldn't have otherwise.

Out of curiosity, when were you converted? Sept or Oct?

It depends on when you convert.
