RSV is "scheduled" mostly 5 on two off and 6 on two off. The dirty little secret is that the scheduling department can actually move your days off with no advanced notice. To them, it isn't "Junior Manning"... so there is no premium pay for working your days off (this applies to reserves only).
It's a terrible policy, but it's due to the extremely poor contract. They don't do it all the time, but it does happen.

Lol sorry GDO guaranteed day off , reserve pilots get 3 a month
Ex. placement after working 4 days on reserve and having 3 days off after you request to have a GDO day on that 5th day that's to them is like having a brick wall put up from being used or extended .

What if your schedule is already for 5 or 6 straight days for RSV???
Can you still ask for a GDO after day # 4.

Keep in mind, that's a junior reserve schedule. They do improve, although 117 has cost a lot of guys days off and general efficiency.
That said, even a junior reserve schedule like that is far better than some 135 outfits (can you say 13 days off a quarter?) or a freight feeder gig.

If u have 6 days on you don't want to waste a GDO after day 6 cause they can't go into the 7th so it's a given
Other than that it does seem like a lot of movement . I'm currently flying 100hrs and getting paid about 120hrs in credit , getting my time in I can't complain .

When or how do you specify where the GDO days get placed?
