You can reduce your RAW value for a yellow slip, or agree to fly on an off day for a yellow slip. It does not guarantee that you will get the desired trip, so be careful. It simply states that you want to fly, and here are my requests that coincidentally they do not have to honor. They will honor them if they choose to, but if the trip you want is already assigned and they need another body, you will get assigned the that trip even though you did not request it.
Remember that any assignment over 12 hrs to report is your responsibility if a slip is in. Under 12 to report and it is a proffer.
Acl thanks for the explanation. I just wanted to clarify, I can not pick up a trip on my days off if the trip is advertised for pick up and it is not on open board it is only on swap board? So the swap board is only available for regular pilots and not reserves?
