Recall that, if you wish to use PB Days to drop a rotation(s) on which there is insufficient
reserve coverage and you do not wish to use your APD or an IVD, you may submit both a PB
Day and a PD request for the same rotation(s). If another pilot subsequently is awarded the
resulting Qualified Personal Drop (QPD) rotation, your PD request will be awarded. You can
then use the SmartSheet on the Crew Resources/Scheduling page in DeltaNet to request that
a PB Day(s) be placed over the dropped rotation(s).
I’m going to re-read these as my wires are crossed. However, I just reviewed my Oct schedule…I had a weekend trip with no coverage…here is what I did;
1)post on icrew “pilot swap board” - drop trip “just put through”
2)trip taken by another pilot
3)filled out Sched worksheet to have PB days applied.
4)PB days received.
If someone can clarify this for me…I believe this is my incompetent way of accomplishing the Sched alert PDrop with PB day request. Doesn’t my listing on the swap board get the Q qualifier just like a PD request? Or did I get an incompetent scheduler and I need to tighten up?
If I’m totally wrong (probably)…please clarify how a PD vs a swap “just put through” differ in requirement(s) and presentation to other pilots looking for trips.
Thanks.
