You can only pick up flying on your original Vacation days. Flying is paid at 200%. On DTSed flying outside of vacation days, you cannot pick up OT because you essentially “dropped” flying.

DTS doesn't pay you. It only gives the time off. Use sick bank to get paid. Then pick up the OT for what is effectively 250% pay.
DTS and picking up OT without using the sick bank is likely the dumbest thing in the world to do.

Wrong.
And (partially) wrong.

Wrong. You can pick up flying if CS allows it. Did this just last november. Turned 1 week off into 19 days in a row and picked up a TON of OT.

I did this a few weeks ago. Ended up with 160 hours of credit and 16 days off.

Glad you know better.
edit: you are right. Only 154 hours credit. Sorry. It does include the IOE displacements etc.

Lol. Got called out for the lie and then comes clean.

The only thing that was unbelievable was the 16 days off. Throw in some displacements for IOE and now we have a believable story.

16 days off and +150 credit would be a challenge even on critical coverage.

I hope you enjoy the 145 LGA.

It's still a few months away, but I'm sure I will!
