Years ago (2014) I tried to cover an APD in August with PB days. Initially CS let me do it but then called me back a few days later and said oops I can’t do that. Then they told me that there is a 3 month period, Jan/Feb/Mar, where you CAN use PB days to cover an APD. Don’t know if this is still the case.

I read in the last copy of the Scheduling Reference Handbook that you can PD or APD in Jan-Mar and then ask Scheduling to take your old PB days that would have been converted to Vacation days and apply them to the trip you dropped.
My interpretation on that is not that it can only be done in those months, but that that is how to use PB days that would have been turned into Vac days. I would like to find something more concrete rather than my interpretation and having to rely on luck in getting a cooperative scheduler.

Never happened to me but what about a reserve GS that goes into a regular month? Could happen this month... maybe. Say a 4 day with 2 days at the end of the current month and 2 days in the beginning of the following month. Pay above guarantee for days 1 and 2 with 2 payback days and regular GS pay above the trigger in the second month. And since credit is on the last day of the trip it is paid in the second month. This is my guess. Correct?

That’s correct, since it’s the end of your reserve month, the payback days go into your bank.
I had the exact same thing in May. I then picked up a high value 2 day on a PCS run at 0700, on days with good reserve coverage, and dropped two payback days on it on the 1200 PCS run. Shows TOFF on the time card, pay and credit. You are then free to take the time off, or pick up something else over the footprint, even the same trip, I think.

You have to call scheduling to pick this trip back up a second time. Two TOFFs on the same day will fool the system onto thinking you can't be awarded the trip you just dropped.
