I spoke with a scheduling committee member. From what was said, the math just changes as the month progresses. Supposedly if it was dropped with an APD, it could have been dropped with a PD.
And knowing scheduling, why would they they select the option to permit APD on a holiday?

Well that's confusing because APD requires 25% coverage and PD requires 100% coverage. But if what that SC member said is true, then we should have no problem striking out 23.I.10.a exception from the contract.

I've had APDs hit on the holidays a few times. You can't win if you don't play.

Oh ya, when I was junior I maximized the use of the APDs, IVDs, PDs and swaps to get the days off I wanted. I always set the APD and let it ride. If he's saying that scheduling is only allowing APDs to work if it's 100% over holidays, then I guess his statement makes sense. However, I've seen situations where that wasn't the case because an APD was processed after sitting for weeks, coverage was never close to 100%, but was over 25%. I could be missing a point here, but an absolute statement that if an APD worked, then a PD would work, is confusing to my caveman brain lol.

I'm trying to drop a trip next month and I'm getting geared up for the 0700PCS run on the 20th... I'm hoping to use just a straight P/D, however I know the RSV grid will change significantly during the run and am willing to use my APD if needed.
Based on my reading of the PWA and SRH it looks like APDs are processed first and then P/Ds. Is there some work around to use the P/D first and if that doesn't drop the trip use the APD? Or is the only way to do that to wait until the next PCS run and change it to an APD?
TIA

Just curious: any etiquette rules or norms about looking at people’s schedules? As a perma reserve bidder I track trip coverage in my category very closely so anytime someone picks up a trip in an unusual way I check their schedule largely out of curiosity and to possibly discern unique/clever bidding/pickup strategies. I know it pings on icrew that I looked at it. I have no issues with anyone should they want to look at my (boring) schedule.
