FDX leveling

If awarded a VTO with trips and reserve, are you leveled for the trips which occur before the reserve?

I am pretty certain you are.

I think so too, but the leveling won't show up on your leveling screen until you block out on the trips ...

Sorry for the thread hijack...did not want to start a completely new one.
I am in training...I finish on the 24th of this month. They put an IOE trip 3 days after I finish...This gives me a total of 10 days off for the month... I looked thru the contract...and probably missed it....but I thought the min days off was 13? Training may be different, but I could not find it....

So, can they do this? And yes, I will call contract enforcement MON AM...

Thanks for any responses...

Well, maybe not min days off in a bid month...But, there are min days off:

CBA 11.E.

5. A pilot shall have at least the following number of days off during initial new hire and ITU training, excluding IOE:

a. A minimum of 2 consecutive days off within each 7 consecutive days of training in the ground phase.

b. In the simulator phase, the Company shall plan to give the pilot 1 day off following 4 consecutive days of simulator or aircraft training; in every case, a pilot shall receive at least 1 day off following 5 consecutive days of such training.

c. A pilot, other than a pilot in initial new hire training, shall receive one block of 6 consecutive days free from duty to be assigned near the midpoint of his scheduled ITU training program (not to encompass IOE).

d. A new hire pilot shall receive 7 consecutive days free from duty following completion of IOE.

I'm not 100% sure...But I believe once you're in IOE, you revert back to regular scheduling parameters. Not that that's much help. Unless your IOE is lengthy. Of course, if it takes you an entire month to get through IOE, you have more to worry about than min days off.
