I haven't called CS yet to inquire. It may be selfish of me to look at it this way, but as it stands right now, I got paid for a GS I didn't fly, a few other guys got to snag a GS, as well as a reserve rotation dropped, so I can't say that this situation really hurt me.

The Scheduling Reference Handbook, which I believe is vetted by the company, clearly states that a GS award will drop a next day or second day reserve assignment. This should happen even if the trips don’t overlap because your PB days should start immediately after the GS ends and would then spill into your assigned trip.
Also, CS has until 2 hours before report to correct mistakes, so don’t let them tell you “it’s too late” if outside 2 hours. That knife cuts both ways.

Either I didn’t read all the new rules associated with the assigning trips 2 days out, or this is a case of ‘didn’t see that coming’. Looking at PSB for NYC320A, and there is a trip posted by a someone who was assigned the trip on reserve yesterday…trip leaves tomorrow. Anyone have experience with this wrinkle?

To gain some color on rotation award history:
Schedules>Open Time Menu>Open Time
enter the bes you want to look at. Rotation number and its departure date. No need to select # of days. Then click pilot history.

I had the benefit of this jewel a few weeks ago. Had a 5 day with a red eye start assigned two and a half days out. Next morning a GS calls for a 4 day with the same red eye leaving that night. One operating leg a day with a cool cap. Got a little scratch, and a PB day for a day I preferred to be home.

I don’t know what a cool cap is though. Maybe they only wear their hat on green slip trips?
