We made it thru Memorial Day unscathed but the first weekend in June is looking like a bloodbath. The fun starts June 3rd. Especially in NYC. Might get some GSWC this weekend

Keep an eye on close-in reserve coverage. If a day (s) gets really negative and the rest of your trips are only fairly negative, you can drop multiple trips with that single swap.
I've moved entire weeks of capped coverage reserve days by swapping into a day that is -15 when the rest of the days were -2. Right now coverage is so bad everyday (more like -10 to -15 in my category) I don't think it'd work but that is pretty slick. Thanks for the info. :cool: |
No worries everyone. I bid reserve for June because of Vacation credit. MY reserve days are all blue so instead of chillin' on the boat sitting LC, I'm sure I'll be outta base reserved to NYC. I'll be the one with the superman cape and repeatedly saying "Here I am to save the day!" :cool: :mad::mad:

At my last shop this idea was called a "bad day/worse day" trade. You could always drop a day that was below coverage (ie bad) as long as you were picking up over days that had worse coverage. Really helped me out of a jam a few times.

Again, as suspected it is one of those tactics that apply to perhaps 6-9% of the group if that. Not all of us sit around and monitor short term coverage. Are you more referring to moving reserve on call days or swapping around trips? Its not clear. I'm curious how PCS lets you do this as it is clearly stated drops are not permitted within xx% of coverage. Swaps, sometimes, yes. Those are again, more of a crap shoot. Glad you have the time and can get lucky. |

Multiple posters giving you their experience doesn’t count for anything? Coverage doesn’t deny swaps or Q drops. Prove me wrong.
Man you are one angry dude. Lighten up, life is short. |

It's a gamble. Not something to bank on. I've heard of this before. And it only will work if you're sitting in base.
