Still get PB days too I guessing even after PD two reserve days in same bid period

Correct. Everything is the same except your "base" reserve pay is lowered by the value of the days you dropped.

perfect thank you!

Ok, last month I had CS admit they messed up not awarding me a 1 day GS. I was on reserve that month.

They put a line on my schedule 4F1C and gave me 5:15 pay, no credit.

They did not add any time to the "reserve G/S line" on my timecard.

Is this correct? It's hard to understand what "pay" I'm getting if you fall below reserve guarantee for the month.

TIA

5:15 pay over guarantee (or what you flew if you went over guarantee). You do not get a PB day if not flown.

You would not want credit since credit only helps you fill up to the reserve guarantee.

Right but what I'm asking is on the timecard is it just shown as pay/no credit and not below under RES G/S pay? I don't fully understand how the timecard relates to what credit I actually get paid at the end of the month when I didn't get enough credit to be "full".

4F1C will pay on top of guarantee. That is somewhat of a catch-all code for company error/convenience. It is not RES G/S pay because you didn't actually fly the GS.

Easy button:

When the credit column is blank or less than the pay column, the “missing” amount is paid above guarantee.

Question about APDs: if my hire date falls within the next bid period (31Aug - 30Sep) and I submit an APD request today to drop a trip next bid period, would I be using my APD for current year, or next year? To put it another way, are APDs counted during the bid period they are processed, or for the bid period that contains the trip you’re trying to drop?

Bid period that contains the trip.
