Hello, if you are RES up until the end of a month going into a REG month, can they give you a spill trip into that month during your days off? Thanks

Yes they can. It's way down on the coverage ladder though. When it happened to me 2 summers ago JUL - AUG, I got some extra pay but I can't remember why.

And is a reason a lot of seasoned switchers will put an X day on the last day of the Res month, if you can.

Ok, dumb question but I can’t find the answer. How long after your last CQ sim check can you be scheduled again? I thought 9 months was the early month.

It's 9 months from base month to base month, so if you go late, then early it could only be 7 months apart, or early to late makes it 11 months...

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.
