Would that use just 1 payback day or will they put additional ones at the beginning of the next month in PBS?
I just want to get the max hours out of my 2 payback days. Thanks.
Yes to scenario 1 but scheduling will use both payback days to drop a multi day trip.
Also I'd like to add an addition to rhinos and others discussion of green slipping on off days.
If you get a GS, and it isn't on an x or golden, you can request to move an x day to the first day of the trip. With scheduling concurrence...This will give you an extra payback day.
So let's say that worked.
Now remember to move x days, you need reserve coverage and 3 days in advance. So, you've got day 1 on an x day and you should have time to get x days moved under days 3 thru whatever. Which, if successful, will give you payback days at the end of your trip.
