Default Are there 13 months in a year?

But seriously, I was playing with APC’s pay calculator, and the slide bar for number of months worked in a year goes up to 13 months? I’m am a little confused, do airlines go off of an exact 4 week month, making a 13 month year? If so do you get your guaranteed flight time payed out 13 times a year?

See airlines build the bidding schedule as 4 week 28 day packages. They do not follow the calendar months

I think "See" is supposed to be "some."

If you get paid every two weeks, there are 13 pay periods in a year. A pay calculator may take this into consideration.

Your year seems a little... short.

I think what he is trying to say is 26 checks equating to 13 months (typical “pay period”) but I’m sure you already knew that
