APD question
#12
I have no idea why it was originally negotiated into the contract so this is purely speculation. I imagine it went something like, if we could have once a year where we could drop below min coverage to attend certain life events, that would be great. Okay, but what is to prevent them from GS over those days?
Basically this is correct. The APD is intended to be used when you really need time off for something major. If allowed to use it and fly over those days the majority of the usage would probably be to pick up a greenslip. Dropping trips with low reserve coverage obviously has cost consequences to the company so like most things in the contract it’s a compromise.
Agree with what Sailing said above.

Not to change the subject to much
Not finding the cutoff to put in for a PD (personal drop) to utilize a SUPP Day.
If the trip is on the 7th of January, does it need to be put in for when they run the cards at 7am for the PCS run on 6 January?

Not sure if this is currently how it’s done but in the past you needed to PD the trip and then call crew scheduling and tell them you want to use a SUP day/s to cover the trip. Don’t wait till the last minute.

Thanks Denny
Just trying to figure out when the cut off is or when its to late. Saving it in case of a swap with the pot till the cut off.
I'll PD it last minute if need be, or just fly it if i'm to late pulling the trigger. Just can't find the exact cut off time.
Since I have Feb/Mar, I'll get it done at some point to avoid the vacation day.

Any PB days from 2020 that became SUP days can be used to drop trips and get paid for them before the the new vacation year begins in April 2021.

Edit: The scheduling handbook says what Denny says to do, but it is apparently now outdated.
Edit 2: The links to the forms are in the 20-25 email.

23.I.10.c.1 says "single rotation of any length"
You might be confusing it with 23.I.10.c.2 which says "multiple rotations totaling no more than 4 consecutive days" or 23.I.10.c.3 which says "no more than four consecutive reserve on-call days"
