Not to be argumentative..........but () my experience is just the opposite so I figured I'd ask the union. It may have changed with the last contract. Also CP's and the PSC have some latitude and can do stuff we cannot. Will let you know what they say.

You got lucky. Good for you. Here is the response I got:

There have been no contractual changes that would allow the use of pay back days to recover time lost from the use of an APD.

Once you are full on reserve, can you pick up trips on the pilot to pilot swap board? Have some unexpected expenses an extra trip would cover nicely.

The Swapboard is for line-holders only. Sorry.

GS/YS is your only option.

To use them in the Jan-Mar time frame, you will have to call crew scheduling and they do it manually.

PB days converted to VA days are paid out March 31, if not used. Also vacation time can be used to cover PD and APD time dropped. I call it the QOL cycle of life. PD or APD time - covered by VA time - covered by bank time - covered by paid out or converted PB time - covered by res GS PB days.

At the end of the year, PB days earned become Supplemental Days and you bid them in conjunction with the following years vacation. These supp days can be used to cover an APD, PD etc into the Jan-Mar time frame. As far as pay, they are not paid out on March 31 of the subsequent year. They have the value of a vacation day added to the vacation bank. If you only use your vacation bank when you take vacation, you will be paid for the supp day along with the vacation you connected it to.....

If some one can get CS or the PSC to use PB days to cover an APD outside of the parameters I've listed, more power to you. They do not have too.

Unused VA time due to training are paid at the end of the year. Using PB days instead of rebidding the vacation for time off allows the payment.
