You have your contract? There's a whole section in there about min-guarantee and when/how it is reduced.

No. If it was a pre-award in PBS, then you get 4 hours credit for each day away towards meeting your min guarantee. Your guarantee will be adjusted to what your remaining flight schedule is. If you dropped the 2 weeks after the PBS award, you lose 2.5 hours of credit towards guarantee for every day away. So if you were on MIL Leave for 14 days, you're new guarantee would be 75hrs-14days*2.5hrs=40 hours min guarantee.

Hope that helps. Feel free to PM me if you have any other military related questions.

+1...Also, make sure you check the Pro Rate days off page in FLICA and make sure they give you the proper amount of days off. I turn my drill dates in far in advance, but occasionally it still gets messed up. If it does, give Crew Planning a call as soon as you catch it. They've been good about getting it fixed for me. Good luck!

You know Local 357 has a webite, right?

And I too grow weary of people calling me so I can read the contract out loud to them. Assume SOME responsibility and just TRY to find the answer before posting or calling. If someone has done their research and is still confused, I'm more than willing to help. If they haven't bothered to look at the contract on their own, I don't call them back.

Next time just ask where to look for it in the contract...we've all been there. It just comes out better if you ask where to find it as opposed to what does it say.

Guys cut him some slack...dude said he was a new-hire, he probably didn't know.

Point him to the section and/or page of the CBA that addresses military leave and be done with it...
