It sounds like it was assigned after Long call had already started. Not the day prior. I took it as he started long call last night and then woke up this morning and a trip was on his schedule without a call from scheduling.

Soft day? Isn’t it any day off other than a vacation day (in which 12pm is the earliest assignment). I don’t think golden X-days are exempt from the 9-10-12 carveout.

Yeah, that's more what I was getting at. I didn't have the PWA in front of me so I couldn't remember the exact wording. Any VAC day (including IVD's) protects you from any report prior to 12 hours after the start of LC.

Can a regular line captain get awarded a rotation with an FCF on reserve? Do they just call you up and brief you or is it something you sign up for before and are on a special list…or do only LCPs do them? SRH/PWA/DLnet are all kind of vague…
thx

I have CQ and a carry out trip next month, Is it better to bid REG or RES to maximize days off?

run it through the johnfbell.com reserve pay calculator under PBS and scheduling tools. Most likely you’ll make more than the top of the LCW if you bid reserve

Question about sick time with a spillover trip from reg to reserve.

Had a 3-day spillover trip in February bid period that I called in sick for. Day 2 of trip I called in well before noon. The way I understand it, those last two days of trip that are in the new bid month (and now with a reserve line) revert to long call. However, my time card is still showing I was charged sick time for those last two days of the spillover trip.

Is that correct?

I'm reasonably confident it requires a LCP paired with any FO.

​​​​​​FOM 23. The CA has to have completed the FCF training program for the fleet (all LCA's have done this as part of their training.)

You are a lineholder until the lineholding carry in trip ends from my understanding. After that you convert to reserve.
