In fact both these posts are wrong in some way.

POST 1:

For starters, if you are on a regular line, and you want to drop a trip via the Personal Drop, you don't "drop just one day"--you put in a personal drop request, and if it is granted, the entire trip drops.

When you say "drop just one day" you are referring to an Authorized Personal Drop (APD). That is a whole different animal than a PD.

Also, there is nothing special about the 22nd of the month when it comes to PCS requests. You might be thinking of the 20th when the first PCS run for the next month begins.

You should also put in a Swapboard "Pickup" request and see if someone takes your trip via that venue--another way of accomplishing the same thing.

POST 2

If a pilot drops a trip via the PD, he can white slip or green slip over those days any time he likes. Again, you are thinking of the APD.
