question. Wife is having a baby next year. I will go on FMLA for a month or so. Can I save my vacation to supplement my FMLA when I am off?
I wanted to add this has been a great discussion on PD, APD, schedule swapping, and banking. I was able to drop a particularly troublesome single day of reserve this month, and got my schedule all cleaned up for next month just the way I wanted. Thanks!
EDIT: wish I knew the banking thing before, I flew over a couple X-days during OE and got PB days. The "problem" was the PB days were on reserve days I wasn't going to fly anyway because I was still in OE. Had I known then what I know now I would've banked those two suckers for some freebies later on. Oh well...
EDIT 2: Is there a way I can check on my current ranking of a new category and see my progress towards getting in? I bid the 73N in SEA but other than the general "that will go way senior to you" comments I've already received, I really don't know where I stand.

Quick question:
I don't normally bid reserve so I just want to verify this.... Once you reach a total credit over the monthly ALV, you are full for the month correct? I have a few weeks of vacation this month, so my time card makes it look like I still have some reserve obligation. 65 hrs of vacation credit plus 15:45 of trip credit brings me to 80:45 where the ALV is 80. Time card still shows 11:56 of reserve guarantee.
It's not predicated on Reserve Guarantee is it?
Also, do I need to call and request to be shown FULL, or will they do it automatically?
Thanks!

I saw in another thread that the number of positions for SEA was 50 -- is that 50 FO and 50 CPT, 50 total, or just a random number thrown out there by somebody guessing? If I saw anything official in regard to staffing it went right over my head.

Well, not that it changes anything but I feel a little better .
Awesome, that is exactly what I was looking for.

I read 25 crews for SEA 73N and 25 crews for NYC 330 in the crew resources update attached to SD's weekly update this week.
Good luck, E
