Also scheduling alert 22-01 tells how to use the smart sheet on crew resource page to let schedulers you only want to use one PB day or not.
The first scheduling alert very clearly lays out the best use of PB days and how to drop trips with them even if coverage is lacking.
There is also a great discussion/document on your tablet under the ALPA folder. It has strategies to use to maximize the value of the PB day. As a hint, in categories with little to no reserve available days, you can convert any vacation day to an IVD and use that to drop the trip and then cover the lost revenue with PB day(s).
Good luck!
