For example:
On X day, you fly LGA-BUF. It is one hour block. You will only be paid an extra one hour for picking up the entire three day GS.
Buyer Beware. Ask me how I know this.

Doesn't sound very appealing at first, but depending on what's left in the month, one could possibly (eventually) drop the first day of a future trip with the aforementioned payback day, and earn another 5:15 or more pay for that day's block. No where near the good deal of the green on 3 X days, but still better than one hour of pay.

You will only be paid above guarantee for the ACTUAL BLOCK time flown or deadheaded on your X day. You will get a Full or Partial PB day depending on what time you sign in, etc.

LOL exactly. You're making my point. That's why its done the way its done. If you could put them anywhere, you'd basically eliminate X days and all off days would effectively be * days once the first one in the string was one.
I support doing that, but its going to be a costed negotiating item.

Heading to upgrade training in March. Last trip captain advised me to get a rental car primarily for psychological well-being purposes. Which I totally get. Has anyone done this? Any pitfalls or suggestions? I live too far to drive my airport car out there and I think my regular routine of "walk wherever I want to go, whenever I want to because screw the criminals" may just be pushing my luck a little. I'm seeing $900ish on travelocity for the month.

Might see if you can get a discount with a 30 day rental. Prob have to call.
Or, would it be cheaper to get 5 day rentals?
Also, look on delta perks. There are some rental car discounts there.
Good luck

Does anyone know the answer:
Cat is 4-99-4
You have 4 days on call at the EOM. If you P/D the first of the 4, will next months bid force you to have 4 consecutive days on call? Or will the computer recognize the original schedule with the required block of on call (4 days).
Thanks!

PBS will not look at your previous month's award (pre-PD), it will look at the truth data it has at the time.
