4 moved from 2015 to 2014.
now its 11 in 2014 (instead of 7)
and 14 in 2015 (instead of 18)
according to the fleet plan on the public website the majority of those 11 coming this year is towards the end of the year: 7 of those in 4th quarter...
no other changes from what I can see

All Lines have a 72 hour guarantee. Obviously, if you go over 72 you get paid for it. Relief is slightly different with credit. If on a RSV day you pick up a turn worth more than 4 hours you get paid the difference on top of guarantee and of course all flying on days off is above guarantee as well.

Seems Relief lines are a great way to make a lot of credit

I don't know where I came up with 78 hours credit. Wishful thinking I guess.
Now, is it possible to trade a trip for reserve days? I don't see where to do it in flica, but after 7 years I only just learned how to trade reserve days for other reserve days.

I don't remember getting much in the way of credit, but I didn't pick up any extra time either.
The biggest thing I liked about relief lines is, you get the bid award excitement twice, once when you're awarded the relief line and then when the schedule comes out and you fly with different people every trip.
