The Flex instructor's will leave no questions asked. Spoke with one today, he is ready to drop paperwork once bidpack is released. Get up for it.

No Instructors makes it hard to run an excess bid. Maybe reduced BLG is a good thing except for the loss of pay part of it

The flex schedule is tied directly to the reserve days:

11.M.9.b. The maximum number of duty days on a flex instructor/PCA’s flex bid period schedule shall not exceed the maximum number of R-days in the bid period plus up to 5 days of carryover, if bid. Carryover days will be paid only if work is available, as determined by the appropriate training manager.

I think we should point out the language does say "maximum" and "encourage" training management to schedule something less than the maximum. This would also mitigate some of the overmanning as fewer bodies would be allowed to flex to the line.

Maybe our A to Z flight management team will voluntarily return to the line in support of their fellow pilots.
