APD Question
I believe that I can use my APD to drop 2 two day trips if they fall within 4 days of each other - is that correct? I can find a million references to APD but can't find the simple explanation of it.
For example if I have a two day 1 and 2 May off the 3rd and 4th and another 2 day on the 5th and 6th I can drop an APD from 2-5 that drop both trips - is this correct?
If someone can point me to the capabilities of an APD in the PWA or SRH I would appreciate it.
Thanks Scoop

So I tried to drop 4 consecutive days, 4-7 although the trips were3/4 and 7/8. I received this truncated message:DROPPED DAYS EXCEED LIMIT OR ARE NOT
Of course the denial ends there with no way to see the full reason. The coverage was close to what a regular PD would be? Do both rotations have to fit within the 4 consecutive days? If so that would explain it. I thought it was a trips touching sort of thing?
Maybe I should try an IVD? Does anyone know if that would work?

No APD over an off day seem like the relevant limfac for Scoop.

Trips can be longer than the APD as long as the black days are covered by APD. Blue days don't matter. I've dropped a 4 day trip with 1 APD on just the black day to preserve pickup options on the other 3 days.

So regarding IVDs you are saying there is a chance?

Obviously reserve coverage still needs to be >25% for every day and also not in a holiday blackout period.
