You are only guaranteed 11 days off IN BASE per month.
My only point here is that this has been successfully argued by the union in that some pilots were given schedules in transition that included a lost day, and scheduling considered that their 30 hour rest in 7 days. The union argued that this was a contractual violation, and the company agreed. It still happens because apparently CS's legality computers don't catch it, but if you call CS, they will give you a 7D day off in base.

How do you bid for OT's while on reserve? I know you can bid the day before during your proffer window but how do you do it ahead of that? Call CS? I tried the QuickTrade app but it wont let me due to RSV conflict. I know these go more senior but it's worth trying.

You can't pick something up that runs into your reserve days. Quick trade should work for reserve pilots. You have to use the email though. In decs type RF 100 open and it'll give you commands for various bases and full or partis trip pick ups RFs. Pick the appropriate one, fill it out, copy into an email to swaps and drops. Easy as pie.

You have to use the email option in Quicktrade to attempt to pick up OT while on RSV.

Also, you can’t pick up OT before 10am a day following RSV.

The company: we're understaffed and will meter flow, not approve any kind of drops, and we also be junior manning.

Also the company: we will make voluntarily picking up extra flying as difficult as possible

That's like when they used to block OT from being picked up (they used to be able to do that) because we were overstaffed while simultaneously denying drops because we were understaffed.

But when we look for loopholes or gray areas in the contract we're being unprofessional troublemakers.
