That sucks. I’d definitely ask alpa and maybe ask to have a CS supervisor explain? I’ve had to call back a couple times with the same question to get a scheduler who could speak pilot.

This is mostly correct, but for clarification, JNU requires FO SAQ training. It is, however, one time and does not require any type of currency. I want to say it's the only airport in the system though.

You only get a PB day if you have no more X days remaining in the month. I've never gotten a PB day in my entire career.

You only get to CHOOSE your PB day if you have no more X days remaining in the month. If you have X days remaining in the month your PB day is automatically assigned to your next X day but it's still a PB day.

I believe he is talking about getting released from the trip. A FO can be released from the trip if the pilot giving the SAQ is qualed in that aircraft and the scheduled FO is reasonable familiar and current in the theatre. If the FO is not familiar generally they are required to go along even though there is no currency requirement.

23.S.9.a

It’s pretty clear. Free of duty until 5pm, and then 24 hour X day begins.

Give them that reference.
Unless, there is another contractual item somewhere else but I don’t know it.

you are mixing up payback days with banked payback days.

Random question - does Delta put zed fares/jumpseaters in Delta One on international flights if it's available? Going to Japan with my wife next month, trying to manage our expectations

They screw this up almost every time. If you flew the Greenie on an X day Your schedule should show you Pb on the day you flew and PR on the next day ending at 5pm.

I have to call them almost every time to get this corrected...well lately I have used the Crew assist app and asked them to look at it..there is a former schedule supervisor in there that knows the contract back and forth. Ask for Margaret T. She is awesome and can tell you the straight poop.
