The smaller number is your scheduled duty and the larger number is your max duty based on scheduled report for the day. Max duty is the one you add 2 hours too.

I could be wrong but I don't think there is anything in the contract that actually prohibits you from going to 16 hours if you wanted to. However I would think long and hard about that one........

Edit: NewK I just read your post and you covered it all!! So disregard the above!:)

That is correct. You can do one of two things if you want to get all 20 hours paid at GS pay.

1. If you have hours in your bank from previous bank deposits you can pull out 10 hours to get to the GS trigger then you will get all 20 hours paid as double pay. I always have 10-15 hours in the bank for that reason. Someone told me you can pull out hours you don't have and go to a negative bank balance to get up to the trigger, but I'm not sure about that since I've never tried it.

2. WS a trip on your days off for straight pay that is worth at least 10 hours and then you will get the 20 hours for your GS paid at double pay. Right now you will get paid 30 hours for your trip. If you pick up a 10 hour two day you will get 50 hours of total pay vs. 30 so you essentially get double pay for the 10 hour WS trip you pick up.

One other point. Since the GS trigger is at 75 and you only have 65 hrs. of credit, it would be wise to pull 5 hours out of your full service bank to get your credit upto the 70, thus making 15 of the 20 GS pay 2x. Then next month put the 10 hours back in your bank to even it out, or just let it refill over time with your first 5 hrs. credit over 80 each month.

It essentially gets you double pay for that extra 5 hours. (You can only pull 5 hours out of your bank in any month you get a GS. PWA 12.O.4.a)

Check out PWA Sec. 12.O.1-9 on page 12-16.

This stuff is in "Hours of Service"...That's probably why you couldn't find it very easily.

I always have hours in the bank and pull out what it takes to get to 75 before I get a GS. I'll have to check, but I'm fairly certain that I've always been able to fill up to the GS trigger and get paid 2X for all GS hours even if I had to put more than 5 hours in from the bank.

Hey you, non-commuter. What are you going to do with all that extra time now that you don't have to spend an extra 2-4 days a month on an airplane or away from home? I'm jealous. Congrats, Denny! :D

I thought so too, but it is right there in the PWA...

Denny said something about GSWC. I assume that means Green Slip With Conflict. What advantage does that give you??

Carl

Yep...just don't go out and buy that used Ford Focus just yet....set aside means they have to hit a profit in all qtrs.:cool:

Thanks Denny, Rocky, and Shiz!

I was looking for this stuff in scheduling, not hours of service. What was I thinking?:)

You have been shorting yourself. You can pull out as many hours as you would like to fill up however only 5 hours in a month where you have a GS.

A pilot may withdraw or borrow from his bank account for the following purposes:
a. to receive additional credit for pay purposes (up to the lesser of the ALV plus five
hours or 82 hours) for the current bid period.
Exception: A pilot may not withdraw more than five hours from his bank in a bid
period in which the pilot is awarded a GS.
