You get 22 hours for that trip. Plus you get 4 payback days in your bank. Now you are getting 104 hours plus 4 payback days worth at least 5:15 a day later. Value of the month is now 125 hours give or take.
I don't think you understand what you are saying, nor what you are trying to explain. There was no way to bid for a high time line during my training window since it was already blocked out for training in the pre-award. Shadow will be a strategy like you're talking about here, but that is simply not possible with blocked out training.
I'll be interested to see about the PB days...right now it's not showing any.
I dropped the trip on the 1st in lieu of trying to snag a Europe trip on the 2nd or 3rd to finish out my time on the 330. Again, you don't appear to understand what you're saying... that was a PBS awarded trip, not a WS.
