Thanks! I went late last time so that makes sense now.

Reserve question here - how does pay work on a carry-over rotation? I had a CA tell me to be careful b/c the last carry-over trip he did on res all of the pay/credit went towards the later month.

I have 2 days of availability at the end of Jan and I know they are going to fly me. Currently I'm just below being 'full'. I also have 6 more days after that going into Feb. Based on what this CA told me I'm worried if they give me a 4 day carry-over all of the pay/credit will just go towards my Feb res guarantee and I will have worked to within .5 hrs of guarantee in Jan for 'nothing'. Is this crazy? I couldn't find anything about carry-over/asterisk rotations on res in the PWA. Thanks.

You could move an X day to 31Jan to avoid that.

If you are a single minute under Res guarantee, they can fly you to ALV +15, and fly you into x days (or Reg days off) in the next month. Ask me how I know...

*edit* iaflywr types faster, but is right too. Though, you have to move an x day 72 hours prior I think. You might not be able to square that corner.

And the other person that actually got the trip should get an additional two hours of pay also, right? LOA 20-4 says EVERY pilot in the batch will receive remediation of two hours pay/no credit.

So if you were the pilot that actually got the ARCOS trip, how do you know if someone else on the batch was contacted when they shouldn't have been? I don't know if somebody else's phone rang or not.

When do they start putting training on LCA trips if it’s going to happen? What about on the 737.....?

Usually right after the last flight departs to commute home.

Usually around 2-4 days prior. They may not release you until show time .

Thx. Had a Jan to feb trip that was showing training for 3 weeks and got called night prior to release..... silly me thinking those things might continue! But I was not assigned my OE until during my 44x so I should not be surprised.
