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.
