Line check pilot activity is assigned to flight.

If only on 1 flight, Capt is prob getting a LC

If “L” on most/all flights on trip, somebody is getting an OE (and the senior FO prob stays home and counts his money)

I contacted ALPA about this a few months back. From what I was told...

320-330 - one year
330-350 - one year
320-350 - two year

How about 320B to 330B?

Thanks

Especially knowing the reason I got the trip is the company can't figure out how to properly staff the airline, and I'm just a cost saving technique.
Set Condition 3 days of Reserve. Voila!...never a worry about those nasty long trips.

Not possible for an entire month. 3-99-5 makes it impossible to never give more than 3 days of availability in a non-vacation month.

To be fair, CQ helps facilitate it just like vacation. An extra X day due to staffing helps too.

Regardless, even if PBS partially ignores the set condition and gives you one block of 4-days (if it’s an extra X day month) or two blocks of 4-days (in a normal X day month), you’ve still mitigated any of the long trips.

Agreed. Personal choice/strategy whether you go for 2 4-day availability periods or a single 8 day. My point at the beginning is most NB pilots aren't expecting a 6 day trip to even be a possibility, so the 8 days of availability wasn't that big a deal.

I'd really like to see us eliminate covering trips with out of base reserves. If we do use OOB RES, then let's at least get them premium pay for the convenience to the company.
