Instead of putting my single day off on the 6th to resolve the conflict and have it touch other days off, scheduling put it right in the middle of the six-day duty period.

Now, I have a single day off right in the middle of those first six days of June. This wouldn't be so bad if I lived in base, but I commute, which makes it totally suck.

I called CS to see if they would move it, which would make more sense for all involved, but they wouldn't.

Isn't there something in the contract that requires at least two days off in a row? If not, that's a huge oversight on the part of whoever wrote the scheduling section.

I have a few questions:

1. I am currently in upgrade training from the last vacancy (displacement), am I eligible to be awarded a vacancy? I was confused with the "entering training within 14 days" language.

2. As I was displaced to XXX, if I proffer (not proffer to displace) for a new base with the same equipment...XXX EMJ CA --> YYY EMJ CA do I retain my 'not seat locked' status?

Thank you!

Thanks

The 48 hour window is by seniority and requires you send an RF request

The 48hr window anyone (RSV and Line holders) can submit requests for the full or partial pickups they are legal for.
