Makeup flying

Assuming you did the math right (too lazy to check, hence at NK):
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) Yes
As far as premium goes, if you have a weekday trip you have a better chance of dropping it, you will then be more available to be called the weekend prior for premium, if not, you might be in time to pick something up. Still only likely to work in the summer, xmas, 4th of July....

I admit my errors, the 48 hour was memory of my previous company.
The premise is still the same, and the exact wording:
Daily open time pot shall until 1200 EST/EDT contain all known open flying and R days beyond the next calendar day.
Example: Daily Open time available for Wednesday and beyond will remain in open time until Monday at 12:00 EST/EDT.
So I suppose if you want to be accurate, it’s not 2 full calendar days, but a 36 hour blackout from noon eastern to 00:01 the third day.

Not really, the window is from:
- you have a trip that starts 23:59PST in LAS on Wednesday (and yes, it happens), cutoff to drop is 10:00PST (=12:00EST) on Monday, so 61:59 hours.
- you have a trip that starts 00:01EST in FLL on wednesday, cutoff to drop is Monday 12:00EST, so 36:01 hours.
36<cutoff<62

On that topic, what can a reserve or line holder expect to credit a month? At my last gig we’d bid ‘max days off’ and get 11 off and 85 hour lines averaging 4 hours of credit a day.
I read you have a 3.5:1 trip rig. So if my math is correct... if you spend 144 hours away from base on a 6 day trip, the absolute minimum you could be paid is about 41 hours? Seems too good to be true is why I ask.
And is it possible to be awarded a line that is only 72ish hours? Again at my last place, our “floor” was 75 hours but no one was ever awarded less than 83-93ish with no dropping allowed.
Also, for those that attempt to get max days off without reducing below around 72 hours, how many days off per month do you get?

Getting a line that is 75 hours or less is definitely possible. Especially so during the slow travel seasons.
Dropping and swapping is not hard at all. The reserve grid looking forward for ORD FOs is green the entire rest of the month except three days. Those days all touch weekends. It's a question of how closely you watch Flica for the days to turn green that you need.
