You can't get the answer from the above info (but yes you can make decent pay on a vacation month... If you have any training it is a slam dunk to bid reserve) Other factors are a 30/31 day month, does the category have the 20% extra x-day, etc. An ALPA guy, John Bell put together an excel spreadsheet that will do the math automatically.

Deltanet>Crew Resources and Scheduling>Scroll to bottom>PBS Resource Library>PBS Gouge 13-4

It is a great guide and I use the excel spreadsheet almost monthly to figure out if I am better off bidding reserve or a line. Hope that helps.

FYI:
An ALV 72:00 month the reserve pay will be between 77:57-78:29, with *12-13 on-call days.
If you have 3 days of CQ it would be 82:00-82:46, with *9-10 on-call days.

*Use lower "on-call days" number if your category meets the 20% reserve threshold.

Perfect. Thanks!!

1 week of vacation equals 22:45
54+22:45=76:45 hours for the month????

That looks about right. And don't forget that you can use bank time to "fill up" to the ALV also.. (not counting your vacation). If you play that right, and use your bank with the philosophy of an investor, you can get a really great rate of return. I filled mine up last fall. With a 4% and 8.5% payraise, the ROR that I got when I took it out for vacation is pretty hard to beat. Of course you have to be a saver, but the numbers work pretty well....

Go to the Delta Net Flight Ops page, click on your aircraft type, there should be all the info there you'll need, r.e. initial training, requal, recurrent, etc.

If you can't find what you need, find the Fleet Capt.'s phone number listed there, call him tomorrow, ask him to send you what you need. That's why they have an office job, to serve their fleet's pilots, so don't be shy, they can answer all your questions.

If you got Rick Rolled on this thread, you sold a real cool toy because it did not fit with the wife & kids or anything else ever happened bad to you, listen to this and feel better:

Back in the early 70's there was a Berlinetta on a used car lot in FLL for 6,000.00. I thought it looked sorta beat up, and moved on. Been kicking myself ever since.
