Remember if you're dropping a trip as a REG pilot you only need to APD one day of the trip to drop the whole thing. That will leave you available to WS/GS on the other days should you choose to. Remember that an APD is like a vacation day, so if it says APD for a date you can't do anything (which is the point
)
I'm trying to drop a trip that starts on October 30th and ends on November 2nd. The pilot reserve levels Reqd/Avail show 26/2 on the 30th, 36/2 on the 31st, 34/24 on the 1st, and 24/25 on the 2nd. I'm willing to use my APD, but I'd prefer to keep it. Will it let me PD the trip because the reserve levels are acceptable on the 2nd, or will I have to use an APD on either the 1st or 2nd in order to drop the trip?
