I don't get it, we can swap with other pilots within 48 hours, but we can't swap with open time. The real kicker is that this 4 day trip will now go out as a GS while they had plenty of 2 day guys available tomorrow. So what's the basis behind this rule?
The deadline for submitting a swap request is 1800E—two days
prior to the earliest rotation affected by the request.
from the pwa:
23.2.H. A regular pilot may submit a swap request via PCS two days prior to the earliest scheduled rotation(s) or open time affected by the request.
