Default Dropping carry-out trip

I messed up my bid and forgot that 01JUL is in the June bid month. I got a July 1 - July 4th trip. Do I have to wait until June 20th to have a chance at personal dropping this trip? Tried to APD and PD July 1st. Denied due to capped reserve days even though twice as many reserves available as required. I know APD’s are restricted over holidays. I don’t even care about working July 4th. I just don’t want to work Sunday, July 1st.

Is there a 5-day you can swap for? That should fix your reserve cap issue.

Don’t give up. You’ll be surprised that APDs can and will be approved on the holidays listed in the PWA. Unfortunately, you’ll probably have to wait until the July schedules are out.

Sucks. 2011 contract concession is in my opinion, one of worst concessions we ever made (making summer months 30 day bid periods).

Working a holiday in the next month with no premium pay while being senior in category sucks.

Yep. You're screwed. If it werent a holiday it would drop because it treats next month as all blue days before bidding closes....EXCEPT when there is an APD holiday the 2 prior 1 after applies.

Technically yes he did, however, July 1st should not be part of June. That is a DALPA failure.

I did, but it wasn't obvious to me that July 1st is in June. The fact that I got a 4 day going into Independence day is just salt in the wound.
