Looking at doing my first-ever full month drop in order to pick-up better stuff through any possible method. A couple of questions I have never learned the answer to:
1) If you drop to zero and then initially re-populate your schedule via the pilot swap board, do those accumulated credit hours that were in no way part of the original bid award still get used as a basis for calculating ALV+15, with ALV+15 remaining a pick up limit for pairings acquired via white slip or swap with pot? I'm fairly sure that ALV+15 does apply to a pilot swap board trip that would be the pairing that pushes you past ALV+15, but I'm not sure if the pilot swap board trips that reside below ALV+15 count toward that threshold.
Okay, not a couple of questions; that's it. But depending on the answer, it may best to refill initially with just pilot swap board pairings and then delve into regular PCS action later on in the month. Thanks!
