IMO it is ALWAYS better to use PB days to drop a day or days in a trip if you can. As an example, I got a 4 day GS (21 hours) in June that gave me 5 PB days. In July I used 4 PB days to TOFF two 3 day trips worth 15:45 each. Only used 2 PB days for each trip because last leg home was from HNL and left on the second day but got in at 0622 on third day. Then this month I used the last one to get paid the first day of an ICN trip (11:30). So for those 5 PB days I’m getting a total of 43 hours of pay. Better than a regular line GS! Much more lucrative than getting a vacation day added for 3:15 a day at the end of the year. When using PB days this way you do have to be careful of your MAX Pickup because the credit from these trips counts towards it. If you want to pick up more time you can use one of the other trips on your line and swap one trip for two and you are back up to 75/80 hours only now you get paid for the trip/s you dropped with PB days. I’m sure you are aware but if not……..You can do the swap with pot thing because it doesn’t look at max pickup, just looks at total block time.
