monthly credit
 

On average- what do year 1, 2, and 3 f/o's earn for pay credit hours? looking for a normal month shuffling schedule as needed for the best schedule and reasonable amount of days off. Reserve credit? Build up? line holder?

reserve is 72 period. hardly any way to make money on reserve. lineholders and relief get whatever they want. want 90 hours and 11 days off? cool, want 60 hours and 20 days off? cool.

I know a lot has changed since DOS and will change more with PBS. Under the old rules I raped and pillaged. One month I had 19 off with 135 credit! I know of very few FO's near DTW and when the $hit hit the fan and they needed someone all you had to do is tell them what it would take, I always told them the deal was only good while I was on the phone. Once they called me and I just happen to be staying 15 mins from the airport and I got JR man, move up and pay protected for a 4 day. All I had to do is fly 3 legs. I miss those good old wheeler dealer days...... :D

Living in base, and keeping track of open time / reserve availability list will make a difference. Along with how oftenyou put yourself on the x/y list.

Reserve is 72 and we gave up drops with new contract. So always 72.

Lines are 72-80 hours, there is zero open time after the first 10 seconds of DOT. So if you need a day off or don’t want to do a 4 day full of red eyes. Expect 50-60 hours credit at best.

I don’t know anyone who’s been called off the X list recently.

OOOk.

I have done maybe 1 redeye a month for the past 3 months, have kept 0 of my awarded trips, and just swapped a 4 day 3 days ago (well past DOT).

It's not the doom and gloom you describe

Umm, I'm reserve and I drop.

Better enjoy that now because once PBS starts you won’t be able to drop except one block a year.

I think he may be referring to once PBS is implemented there will be no more RSV drops.

Not even close to the doom and gloom he described. I averaged 80+ hours a month on reserve. And it wasn’t because I was picking up credit on days off. That’s probably down right now as we are so fat on reserves, but that will change.

As a line holder you can work about as much as you want. It won’t always be pretty. There may be some red eyes. Last month I credited 86. This month will be 95. Or you can just take what the scheduler spits out and get 72-75.
