Payback day usage
I’m trying to find this in the SRH but can’t remember how it works.
If you have multiple payback days can you use them one at a time to sniper the first day of multiple trips or do they all go onto a trip based on length, For example...say you haven five PB days, can you bid 5 trips with an 8 hour first day and use those five day to drop those trips or can you only drop 3 of the trips?

Not sure I understand. Pretty sure the first thing is to drop the trip (PD, APD, etc). Once you drop the trip you can put PB over whichever days you wish.
But I do not think you can drop a trip just because you have PB days.

Edited to say I was wrong. Just looked at PCS and looks like you drop the whole trip and then it’s applied against your PB day balance.

The application of the days is automated. If you drop a 5 day trip via the Payback Day template in PCS, it will take 5 of your payback days to cover the pay for those days or it will take all of the payback days you have remaining and pay you for the days that they cover starting with day 1 of the trip.

Well we have some that say yes and some that say no.
If you go by the SRH (at least the last time I looked at it) the answer would be no and dropping the trip would use all your PB days up to the total of the trip. BUT, I’ve flown with a guy who has dropped the trip with PB days and then called CS and told them he only wants to us 1 PB day......and they have done it! You will have to call CS and maybe end up talking to a supervisor to get it done.
I haven’t had any PB days lately to check it out.
