The in-period block time of a pairing is defined as the block time (i.e. non-deadhead flight time) contained within the pairing, which falls within the current period.
When a pairing carries into, or out of, the period, then:
all the leg start/end times are converted back into the time zone of the pairing start location (i.e. the person's base)
legs which are fully inside the period have all of the flying time counted
legs which are fully outside the period have none of the flying time counted
legs which cross the period boundary have the flight time split at midnight, and only the in-period portion of the flight time is counted.
Bid for or avoid pairings with a pairing in-period block time equal to, greater than, or less than a specific amount, or within or outside a range.
Avoid Pairings bid example
Avoid Pairings If Pairing In-Period Block Time > 11:00
It filters out pairings with an in-period block time greater than 11:00.
Example
Avoid Pairings If Pairing In-Period Block Time Between 9:00 And 15:00
Award Pairings If Pairing In-Period Block Time > 22:00
