There is no max pickup limit when your are swapping with a buddy or swapping/picking up from the swap board. If you pick up a trip from the swap board or swap with a buddy your max pickup will be lowered accordingly, it will however not limit the swap or pickup from happening. A GS will not lower your max pickup because you get pay no credit for a GS. If you are trying to really load up for a month you should WS trips before you pick any up from a buddy or the swap board.

Uh-oh. Don't get the boys started on trip parking.

To answer your question though -- there is no max pickup on a pilot to pilot swap. You can exceed the contractual limit. (that's the controversy)

However, the number you see on your schedule will change after you complete the swap because the computer now looks at your new schedule and re-computes. It "impacts" the max pickup in that sense. If you exceeded the max pickup with your pilot to pilot swap then your new max pickup will be zero.

Not a very good explanation but I hope that helps.

So in other words, if I wanted to load up the month, I should have used a white slip first, which would have lowered my max pickup number and then I could have added what ever pilot to pilot swaps I wanted, to no limit. By doing a pilot to pilot swap first, I basically made it so I can't "white slip" if something came up, but I can p to p all I want. Correct?

Don't forget the 737-800, and it used to be the 737-300 as well but those are all parked now. Must be interesting going from steam gauge to glass every other leg

Take it for what it's worth.
I wonder how many times BB gets asked about hiring.

Very easy. CAL has the glass set to duplicate steam guages instead of displaying speed and altimeter tapes. At least according to my CAL buddies.

And that's how they make it work by drawing round dials with the nice screens:



Blah.

You know what else CAL does? 3 man 737 flights.
