This is incorrect. If you bisect a block of reserve, ie. leaves days on either end of the training slot, the whole block goes away.Originally Posted by Lindy
After you are awarded your reserve line make sure that you do NOT bid recurrent that touches more than one day of reserve, otherwise, they entire reserve period is dropped.
If you are bidding 15 days in a row, this is especially important (unless it is something you plan to do). Just flew with a Captain who forgot to bid for recurrent training and had 15 days of reserve. All R days were dropped after the recurrent training slot appeared on his schedule and he had to go in and pick up trips to fly.[/QUOTE]
Also, this is NOT necessarily bad. I did this on purpose in June. I was eligible for 74hrs of CIA (68+6) and wanted to pick up a long international trip. I bisected the 15 day block of reserve on my R line and grabbed an around the world trip. CIA gets first shot at open time, before VTOs!
Also, unlike VTOs, all inputs have to be trip specific, can't put in "commuter line", etc.
