That’s what I figured. Thanks

Which is stupid. I know that's how the PWA is written. Next round I'd like to see all RES days become X days once full.

I agree. I’m going to be full by Memorial Day weekend (one of my four weekend coverage “awards”.) They are in a staffing pickle but I’m not inclined to help out for no PB days.

You’re essentially just WSing at that point. Nope! Memorial Day weekend is too valuable for that, up the ante and we can talk.

Go use your JD Power Pass instead. 😁

Does this mean Ed can retire now?

Choosing PBs?
 

PWA 23 para 14 has a statement that, paraphrased says , “take days off in the current bid period or a future bid period by agreement with crew scheduling”

2 questions

I know you can move the PB days via PCS as you would x-days....but is there a time/method to get them placed somewhere other than at the end of your current X-day block as you agree to fly a GS?

Can / will crew scheduling just move PBs into your bank as PDs if you ask them?

Sure they can, but they have to agree to it, and I don't know of them every agreeing to that. Worth a shot, though.

Never ever ever seen crew scheduling move a PB day into the PB day bank on your time card when you still have days on call in the month. Will. Not. Happen.

In the past I have asked them to move to a different day within the bid period. Even pointed out the language you cited. Answer was always the same: “Nope”.

according to the PWA definitions section...an x day is defined as 24 hours duty free period on a reserve line...so I believe there is some confusion about X days (golden days) and asterisk * off days. For the purpose of Pb days, an * and an x day should be the same.

fighting this battle with scheduling right now.
