To clarify:

1) The 2 day GS was entirely on golden X days.
2) There were no more RES days left on my schedule.
3) There are 3 PB days on my timecard.

did the trip release after 15:00? If so that is right

on a normal reserve GS you get 9 hours off after release then get days interrupted back as PB days. It’s kinda weird to explain but the short answer is if your GS releases after 15:00 you get the the number of days of the GS back PLUS the time Interrupted on your next day by giving you 9 hours off after your GS. These are PR days. You cannot bank a PR day so if the GS would have triggered a PR day but you have no more on call days, it is banked as an additional PB day.

example. You GS A 2 day trip that releases at 18:30. 9 hours after 18:30 is 03:30 the next day. If you had on call days left you would get 2 PB days plus a PR day so your next on call day would not start til 03:30 instead of the normal midnight. If you don’t have on call days left you would get 3 banked PB days, 2 for the obvious PB days and one for the PR day.

Got all that.

But once there are no more X days on the schedule, not all green slips are created equal.

Now, I'll just copy and paste my previous reply here:


If there are no reserve days remaining in the month to place payback time on and days are going into the bank, then a reserve GS that is scheduled to block in after 14:30 will result in an additional PB day as the 9:30 post-trip time goes a minute past midnight.

Correct, and I’ll add it’s scheduled or actual block in after 14:30.

That is exactly what happened and that is an excellent explanation. Thank you all.

You can have viewing of your schedule blocked with the approval of flight ops and alpa. It’s rare, but there are people who have done it. You have to have a legitimate privacy reason.

And you sir, have just figured out the power of the PR. Also make sure you grasp what Fangs said above, that's important too, at least if you want to roll thunder.

I know that if you reserve GS and don't have enough RES days left in the month they go into your bank but what if next months shechule has been published? Do they go on your next reserve days in the next month?

What about a carry over trip? Let's say you get a 4day GS on last 2 days of the bid period that goes into the first 2 days of the next (and you are on reserve for the new month)

Do you get 4 PB days put on your next RES days or 2 go into the bank and 2 on your next res days?
