edit: Just read 23.P.3. That seemed to clear things up....NOT.
I don't think the scheduler or I have any idea how this is supposed to be applied. Time to call my rep. Again. Glad we vetted this fully before the vote.
??? 30
days or 30
minutes?
23.P.3 actually seems pretty clear. Here is the big picture: If you flew your rotation rather than calling in sick, would the FARs permit you to white slip that trip you put in for considering the PWA's 30 minute buffer? If the answer is yes, you got screwed and you need to call DALPA scheduling ASAP. If the answer is no, all is as it should be.
However, don't forget that you get the added "bonus" that the PWA allows you to white slip a trip you would not have been legal for had you flown your original rotation (the one you sicked out from) if that rotation has not been awarded after processing all submitted white slips.
