Yep, Mar bid will be DCA.

Pilot Service Center for the request, if I remember correctly.

I hate titles...

There's a form specifically for transfer days that you could fax to the pilot service center. Next time you're near a flight office, grab one, fill it out and have them fax it for you.

Use caution; you may qualify for MORE than three transfer days. Three is the minimum. Compute the driving distance formula and you could get more. You'll get what you ask for, if the math is right. I got 5, for example, on my first move. If you only ask for three, that's what you'll get.

But you only get more than the three transfer days if you actually move.

Not exactly; per 10-G-1 you have to be using an automobile to transfer bases. This could mean any number of different things; a crash pad car or even a rental car full of stuff for a crash pad.

Just be careful to comply with 10-G-2 (reimbursement) if you decide to try and expense it back to the company.

When I used mine I just emailed the PSC and said per UPA section so and so, I would like to put my transfer days on these days and they did it.

That works as well. I was just offering some flight office job justification.

Reviving this thread...

I can request the days in the future, but don't actually have to physically move during those days. The only thing that I would be missing out on is expensing the mileage, meals, hotels, and laundry.

Is that a correct statement?

I also have 90 days to take the Transfer days. When do those 90 days start ticking for a new hire?

TIA

one thing to remember with transfer days as a newhire is you have 24 hours from starting to elect when you want them or they will default them to right after your checkride. IMO better to have then after IOE since there could be days off anyway after sim

You're talking about TDO's, training days off. Transfer days are a different animal. Transfer days are paid. You get TDOs for training but they are not paid.

For tranfer days, the 90 day clock starts at the completion of your LOE, or the first day on which you begin a schedule in that new
Category, when no training is required.

You can take transfer days at your option provided that they don't fall over holidays and have to inform the Company at least
three days prior to Monthly Schedule Preferencing for the bid period in which you intend to take the transfer days.
