Those schedules are no longer available with the new pay structure as now you’re either on the PBS or Red Label scheduling sides.

 

How many days a month/year is Red Label rules?

Same question for PBS? No more starting and ending on set days with PBS I presume?

 

I don’t think there are set rules regarding number of days per month/year with the DRL. You are one of three captains assigned to an airframe and you set your own schedule amongst the three of you and as long as there is full coverage then the company takes what you give them. Maybe one of our DRL guys who knows the process better than I do can chime in with more info With PBS you’re required to work 14 days a bid period. It looks like there are lines that allow you to bid less than that down to 12, but everything I’ve heard before is 14 days a month. The lines max out at 18 days on per 28 day bid period. There is no set start/end date option with PBS. I usually bid 70-90 lines that I’d like and it seems to be a crap shoot since the return of PBS. My first bid period I was awarded 39/60 my second bid period I was awarded 1/70 and my most recent bid award was 75/75. I am currently #17 on the seniority on the fleet/seat I’m on.

 

Doesn't matter. Company technically doesn't care so long as the plane is crewed 24/7. So you and 2 other dudes create a google calendar or however you wanna organize it and pick what days you want to work. Only "rules" I am aware of is no pairings shorter than 4-5 days, depending on domicile, and you have to overlap a day with your outbound buddy so you can take the plane from them when your rotation starts. Comes out to 12ish days a month assuming all 3 of you are on the same page and nobody has vacation/recurrent/ medical leave,etc....

It's on you to find 2 other captains and basically email the company and say: "hey, i got 3 captains, we'd like to be a Red Label team" and once your seniority can hold it, you're assigned a jet. My understanding is also that the team's overall seniority is driven by the most junior captain of the 3.

 

Once you've submitted your application, can you go back in and update/resubmit your resume? Or update any part of your application?
