As far as the using the APD goes, it is a once a employment year deal. You can look on your timecard and see if you still have it available. If you do and you are on a regular line, my recommendation would be to only APD one day of the trip you know you don't want to fly. This should drop the whole trip and then you can pick something else up on the other days if you want to. Just remember that you can whiteslip a trip over PD days but you cannot whiteslip over a APD day.
