7 day conflict. You can only legally fly 6 days in a row. If due to transition they have you flying more than 6 in a row then there’s a 7 day conflict and crew scheduling will have to drop a day somewhere and still pay you for the dropped flying.

If you live in base it’s easy to almost double guarantee each month simply by bidding lines that create transition conflicts as well as creating situations where you are likely to time out your 100 hrs in 28 days.

I wanna hear more about maxing the 100. They pay you there as well for forced dropped due to this as well?

Do you know someone who has earned "almost double guarantee" in a month? I can't see how that would be "easy." I bet one would need to work very hard to achieve this. Please explain your reasoning.

By creating transition conflicts, trip trading, and picking up OT, preferably at 200%, not to mention putting yourself at 8 days off for the month. I wouldn't call the work "easy", because you're working your @$$ off. I suppose if you don't mind burning yourself out and aging yourself terribly, this is a great way to live your life....

Bidding reserve I have never selected transition. I have often had a 7D conflict but I have never seen a reduction in pay. However after reading the contract it looks like I should not have been pay protected.

That’s because you are working for guarantee already.

I regularly credit 130+ hours a month know of many others also getting the same credit hours or better. Living in base I still end up spending 12-13 days at home (2-3 of which are on IOE displacement however i know they can’t use me because i pick up OT on actual days off to create a 100/28 conflict as soon as i get displaced for IOE).

It’s easy to play the game living in base.

Probably not. Pretty sure the currency there is in cartons of beer.
