I guess I don't understand because wouldn't the longtrip/widebody deal be the same for a narrow-body a/c where a pilot gets a monthly schedule and that pilot has vacation and is working 9 days for the month. Now that narrow body pilot picks up an additional 7 days of work out of open time and is then working the normal 16 days and getting paid around 100 hrs.
Yeah you are right. I was having a flashback of some sort. I still think it is a bit more advantageous to the guys with long trips.. but I dunno. Thanks for the wake up..

While I think scope is paramount in the next contract, I think we need to get alot better about actually enforcing what's in the contract. I feel like we are always the side of that table that works/negotiates in good faith which is rarely ever reciprocated during tense contract negotiations.
Seems like the pilot group is always on the short end of the stick when contract interpretation comes up.
If I understand it correctly, as far as the Republic discussion goes, it does not violate our scope restrictions because Republic is considered a holding company and not considered as single-carrier status?

Now there may be many reasons for this - changing industry dynamics, BK contracts, whatever - It does not matter whose fault it is, it is what it is. The important thing is that we as a group acknowledge this and take corrective action.

Call the CPSC they will coordinate with your sim scheduler. You can give dates when you would like to go. If you go non-current, your next sim will be a re-qual checkride (jeopardy).

The scenario you describe would be a ws pickup after the month starts and I believe subject to alv+15 with vacation pay/no credit and would depend on open time being available on the right days and right amount of credit. Intl just needs one trip with a big spill value during pbs. Its theoretically possiblee to get over 130 hrs using spill and 3 weeks of vacation on intl working 10 days, maybe less but it would be hard to do.
The two factors are pbs cannot?/does not look ahead into the following month at vacation credit for alv purposes and domestic only pilots don't have huge spill rotations due to 30 in 7:

I should know the answer to this but I don't and I'm away from the PWA. Can you GS on vacation? Thanks in advance.

Yes, they can. However, if they schedule you over an X day you'll get a PB. For May, they finally got my IOE and TOEs scheduled and looks like they tried very hard to work around my X days, but I ended up getting on PB for the last day on my last scheduled TOE.
Now having said that, the real answer will be something like "it depends". I think they finally realized their scheduling mistakes and are trying to get more of the elephant through the snake.
Good luck, when did you finish training? For reference, I finished mid-Feb.
