Thanks.
Yes you can do this. I did it when I upgraded from FO to Capt. That being said, with a hard cap on how many hours you could be paid in a month and a different type of monthly bidding, it used to be a lot easier to build up your bank.

And no, it wasn't perfect at brand X either. So please, no one throw that one back. Just saying we need to expect better or we'll get what we expect.

Agreed.

Your former IT guru is at work. I think we can expect some significant changes.

ok ac please let me know what u think. I got called for an inverse assignment at 230 am this morning. I am on long call and have and haven't had short call in a week. They said I was unable to do it for "rest req."....? what? I haven't worked or sc in a week. They said it is whitlow rest req. I asked them about 20 times to check it didn't seem right. I understand sc has rest req. but long call?

Was it changed for the worse due the BK contract?

You can also do the opposite with your bank...max negative prior to a displacement or down-bid, then pay it back at the lower pay rate.
