anyone know when you have to call scheduling to come off sick in order to get reserve credit for the next day?
Cant find anything specific in section 14. Would it be by noon base time in order to be eligible for shortcall at midnight? (i know worse case, but......)

What does "award next day flying on 0700E PCS run" mean when submitting a white slip request?

It means what it says. You can be awarded a trip by the computer on the last PCS run before trips are assigned manually and reserves start getting involved. If you are assigned a trip via PCS run, it is yours whether you answer the phone or not. If they are assigning trips manually after the 0700 PCS run, you can filter them by not answering your phone and responding within 10 minutes if you want it.

Havent seen a time a specified. And I think Ive always gotten credit foe the day I call in as well.
Anbody know the best way to bid reserve with Shadow Days on the schedule? Is it more advantageous to bid X days on the Shadow period or have reserve days on the Shadow period? Thanks in advance. Haven't changed planes in a decade so kind of dumb on this subject and research has been poor.

If you are on a category with 1-days, bid for those to fill in any legal holes within your shadow period (preceded by 2-days, 3-days, etc.). The more credit in shadow, the better.

You can search for these on youtube and they are pretty good. This one specifically covers bidding in a month with training.

I know this is extremely broad and general question. How far up the list do coverage trips generally go for the Thanksgiving and Christmas months. FO if it matters

I've heard "top 50%" but it was a vague, passing statement. curious to hear more, and if using Else Strt Next to Reserve Bid group could keep you off on Xmas and thanksgiving
AE upgrade = QOL downgrade. 2x IOE removal and higher GS priority more than makes up for this IMO. Just thought I'd throw that out there too.
Nice shiny new bars captain!
