Same day and next day reserve trip coverage doesn’t happen in PCS.

Any stretch of reserve at or over 4 days all falls into the 4 day bucket, so that works in your favor. Obviously for trips longer than 4 days they'll need a res in the 4 day bucket who has more than 4 days of availability. Sounds like the only way you won't get the trip is if a senior reserve who has at least 5 days of availability also YS's that trip.

23 N and 23 O are worth a read…and a re-read and another re-read. Handbooks and guides and APC are all great references, but at the end of the day it’s worth learning the contract itself. Many sections are challenging reads and will take multiple reads and even further questioning of your peers or mentor to fully understand. But if you can get in the habit of finding and digesting information from the PWA itself, I’m confident you’ll find those skills worthwhile in the long run.

Most of the time yes, however PWA 23.M.3 Exception one states that Rotations with a report time between 0000 and 0400 or a MED designator in Open Time will be covered on the second day prior to the rotation

I know there are multiple PCS runs through the day. Are YS’s processed last? I have LC beginning tomorrow and have a slip request in but trying to understand the system a bit. When might I find out if I was awarded flying? 1500?
sorry for the newb question. First LC off OE…

PWA 23.E.2 and 3 cover the order of how things are processed during a PCS run
23.N and 23.O (coverage ladders) will show you were YS fall when scheds is trying cover rotations.
PWA 23.T is amplifying data specific to yellow slips

ER is treated as a widebody fleet. So yes there is a 5+ day bucket and it’s 4-99-4, which makes it hard to get every weekend off sometimes.
