Each month, pilots are guaranteed 65 hours of pay, whether a bid-line holder or on reserve.

With 12 bid periods annually, each lasting 30 or 31 days, pilots are assured a minimum of 14 days off per bid period.

Various bid lines cater to different preferences.

            Commuter bid lines with either 16 or 17 consecutive days at work

            Commuter bid lines split into two blocks of 8 or 9 days

            Live-in-domicile bid lines with three blocks of 5 or 6 days at work

Every pilot knows their bid line – flying or reserve – and their days off each month.

During the bid adjustment period, pilots may be able to rearrange workdays and off-days. Additionally, pilots can pick up extra workdays during the bid period, earning a minimum of 4.5 to 8.0 hours of additional pay per day above the guarantee. 

Junior Manning, or forced flying on days off, is rarely used and offers a minimum of 7.0 hours of extra pay for the first day and 6.0 hours for each subsequent day.

Vacation days can be moved to overlap with workdays, meaning a 7-day vacation drops 7-workdays.

Per Diem is a flat $65.00 per day away from your domicile domestically, $72.50 for the Caribbean and Mexico, $87.00 internationally, and $93.75 for the Pacific Rim.
