Since there’s lots of OT around and my seat has CC this month (both unprecedented in my >1.5 yr here), I would appreciate some help with this question.
Suppose I’m awarded a 75 hour line, trade it down to 72, then pick up OT in critical coverage for 10 hours.
Is it 72 hours at 100% and 10 hours at 200% or.... 75 hours at 100% and 7 hours at 200%?
The contract suggests that if a pilot “bids open time during transition to restore him to his original bid line value,” he is not entitled to OT or CC premium. If I have understood this correctly it makes OT largely a waste of time for me because I always shed some hours getting my schedule to where I can commute it without going over 4 hotels. I don’t understand “during transition,” does this isolate the caveat to open time flying occurring during the 3-4 day transition period at the beginning and end of each month? Or pickups during interval to be flown at whatever point
