Thanks for taking the time. I've had colleagues try to explain to me the difference between acknowledge and accept and the consequences of enabling auto of either or both and it's given me flashbacks of my math professor trying to explain imaginary numbers when I was 15.

If you do both you can commit yourself to something you never get notification for. Be careful, I never auto acknowledge.

I only use “auto acknowledge” when I know what the trip is, because it’s been sitting in open time for a few days, and I also know I won’t be near a phone or have ph service when they make the call. It works slick in the right circumstances.

Like if you are flying, and expect a bonanza GS day. Takes the stress out if that’s your thing.

I never got anything and eventually pulled my GS because I got sick of all the calls. Have you netted any pay from this strategy?

As someone who has done the drop-entire-schedule-and-pickup-the-broken-trips myself, I have a question about the above statement.
What deep understanding of the PWA and PCS rules can one get to in order to drop trips?
There are two ways to outright drop a trip if coverage is below adequate: APD, IVD.
If coverage allows a bad-day-worse-day trade then that can get one out of a trip but still leaves flying elsewhere on the schedule, usually in a similar amount.
So what's the deep understanding of the PWA and PCS to get around negative reserve levels?
You've used the term PhD level knowledge of the PWA and I'm just trying to see what presumably many of us are missing here.

Weekend trip coverage is always light so they break up trips. Left over in open time are low block trips.
Swap that 4 day M-th trip for a 2 day Sun-Mon using the worst case scenario.
Now pilot can WS Tues -Th. Do this until reach the trigger then free to GS.
