Saw a job posting for LVP. Posting doesn't give much info, wondering if anyone here has done it and can give info?

Do you lose control of your schedule? I'm guessing you have to just fly where ever they tell you to do LVP stuff.

I tried to understand the pay in the contract but it's confusing. What's a good ballpark guess for the pay?

Any other stuff I might want to know about? Thanks.

PM me if you'd rather.

 

They are supposed to place the PB days as soon as the GS is on your schedule. However...they often do not.

-->IMPORTANT! Once you have finished a reserve GS, you get nine hours free of duty from release, then your PB days start. However, while we all might "assume" that this is an automated process, we would be wrong! This is a MANUAL process that the scheduler is supposed to take care of. I flew three reserve GS last August and in two of them the scheduler did not do that. One of them we blocked in an hour late, but the PB days started as if we had blocked in on time. Ditto for the second example, except that one was even worse--no PB days were even put on my schedule and then scheduling tried to put me on short call! Both situations were rectified with a phone call, but take ownership of your schedule! I asked the supervisor "shouldn't this be automated (like almost all other rotation details are)?" Her answer was "we've asked for this many times, but been denied due to programming costs."

(I had an earlier answer but I think I was confusing myself). I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you wish to drop reserve on call days later in the month, think of that as a separate event. As for the reserve on call days after your reserve GS, the contract is pretty cut and dried: you get nine hours free of duty after release, then 24 hours free of duty for every X day violated by flying the GS.

 

When are qt schedules published? I have initial in the middle of next month and icrew is asking for the days I want a hotel but I don't know which days or periods I'm actually in training.

 

Assuming you looked on deltanet-fleet-sim schedules
Maybe your fleet has an issue, our fleet is published for all next month.

 

Looks like the 320 is only out through December.

 

Sometimes it's 14 hours. Don't recall if that trigger is international or ocean-crossing...

 

I think the poster in question wants to get a period of time off work but some of the days are denied due coverage. They want to use the PB days to drop those but there are work days before them and they don't want to drop those ones without the denied days. Basically they are hoping to game the system and only have to drop days if they know they have the PB days but the system won't allow that kind of game.

 

Looks like they just updated it and schedules are out now for jan.

 

Just looked and it’s only through 31 Dec.

 

You probably need to clear your cache or something. A320 qt had my schedule all the way into feb. Search your name and it should find it.
