13 days off. Reserve is 18 duty days so 12 off in a 30 day bid period and 13 off in a 31 day bid period.

My first time biding too. I didn't put in specific pairings but i think i would be close to getting a line so i put in all the pairing lengths from the pairing preferrences and put that in my layer one, just to pick up the scraps.

The rest are all reserve days off.

Good luck. After 11+ years with the company, I still found ways to dork up my bid.

On this note...

Does anyone else read the PPM as granting less than 18 days working for the month following a domicile change? CS acts like they have no idea what I'm talking about...

You get four move days on top of your regular amount of allotted days off per month. Those four move days have to be arranged before the 7th of the month before you bid.
