Thanks.

Max number of golden days is generally 6. However that changes based on number of reserve days per month. If you have training or vacation or MLOA, that will affect the number of days. Sec 23 of the JPWA has a real good table for that.

The number of days per block is also dependent on the bid each month for your aircraft. Its in the beginning talking about min days on and max days off blocks. When you see a high max off day blocks its easier for them to give you one day off.

See ya in school my friend, I'll need an ally to say "on a Boeing we did it this way". The bus guys REALLY LIKE THAT:eek::D

Ferd,

Since you have me by a few numbers, I wish you all the luck of Doug Flutie with your hail Mary pass for the Airbus. :D
