Landings class
I'm new to the WB fleet, senior enough to be a line holder, to junior to get flying trips. Each month I bid flying trips, each month I get denied (ie. No sharp shooting).
Is there a benefit to me for trying to get sim landings prior to NQ? Once NQ, can the landings desk drop a class wherever they want, over vacation for example?

The way it was explained to me is that if you dequal they will put the training on a day off at their discretion and you lose pay protection for the trips dropped due to your status. Conversely if you voluntarily do it before dequalling you get add pay and have more control over which day off is used. Seems that it's advantageous to be proactive.

Just bid reserve the month that you are going to go nonqual. Then email the landings people and they'll let you select the date that you want to do the course. I do this every 3 months and it works like a charm. Plus if you select a Monday, guess what. You get the weekend off
