Yeah that is kind of weird because you are suppose to go straight to a green line and get those hours knocked out. I had heard that they were just automatically assigning green lines to those who were ready but did not bid. In my case I had put in a bid for Dec and been awarded a line that I had to cancel. Now I'm just hoping to be done with OE by Jan 01 so I can hold a green line then. It's a vicious cycle........
At least I'm not the only one sitting around doing nothing. Makes me feel a little bit better.

Yeah I know, I did talk to crew planning about my green line and they said I'm set up for Jan. and obviously I can try and bid for one of my choosing when that time comes this month or just be assigned one.........
Good luck Squawk, hopefully you get your sim and IOE wrapped up this month...

As stated by someone ealier in the mega-thread, the best thing you can do is show up to your first day of class well rested and ready to learn.
If you have to study something, pick up a FAR/AIM and go to town.

Sounds like you are based in DTW and home is somewhere else (don't know of a lot of beaches in DTW I would like to sit at this time of year). Since you are on probation, if I were you I would be checking CrewWeb on a regular basis. As long as nothing shows up on your schedule, enjoy!

Enjoy the beach then! You could pick up open time, but since you will only credit guarantee in Dec, you will kind of be working for free. Might as well stay off the radar and enjoy the time off. Happy Holidays

To keep this thread going, what headset works well in the -900? I have searched and found some stuff for the 200, but haven't heard anything for the 900. Is it quieter than the 200? Is there a good headset that would work in the jet for now, and also work when I upgrade to capt in the saab?

if you pick up on your day off you get paid above 75 even if you never flew anything else while on reserve. December is double pay!

Are you saying any open time picked up is automatically paid double OVER guarantee?
That would be awesome! I need christmas money!
Also, would schedualing let me pick up a trip that continues into one of my reserve days? Would I get double pay for the flying on the reserve day? Can I request only part of an open time trip (break them into smaller pieces)?
As you can see I havn't figured out this whole open time thing...reading the contract wasn't that helpful either.

Im going to bring my own because I hate sharing more germs than I have to. But I would imagine any headset that you use while flying GA would work fine in a jet. The 900 should be pretty quiet up front.

....looks like I answered my own question as Section 4 of our contract addresses pilots in "training" as well.
So long as you don't go below 10 days off, you will double credit for trips you pick up in December.
