That all makes sense thank you.

That’s a judgement call. If there’s anything in open time you would like to fly, you can always try to restore yourself with it. Otherwise you can roll the dice to see what they restore you with. Last option is to eat the deficit, enjoy additional time off but lose the pay.

It seems they’re cooperative if you make a reasonable effort to self-restore (pick up a five day trip to restore a seven day deficit). However, last time I tried that, I picked up a three day trip to restore five days of deficit, they awarded me the trip, and before the restoration window closed, they pulled that trip and broke up a seven day trip into five days and put that on my line instead.

It’s all a gamble these days.

Agreed - I never self restore and I do better by having the company try to restore me. More time off…

it depends. Remember you can self restore on any off days in the pay period vs the company restoring you ONLY over your original footprint.

self restore with Hono or eat some afternoon turns.

there are no absolutes.

Probably not, the company would rather roll around in thorn bushes before paying for commercial tickets to and from work on pairings that start in base. Albeit not worth much you all have my sympathy up there. Everyone hears about the money train in ANC but not much about the multiple commutes and other scheduling shenanigans that goes on.

I keep hearing about the money train up in ANC. I’m a newhire headed to ANC after training. What makes it so much better paying than sdf? I plan on bidding down south asap but I’m curious about the difference.
