IVD input
 

Having trouble making input to use an IVD to drop a trip. Keep saying “different number of days in date ranges”. Any help appreciated. Thanks

without seeing a screenshot, just make sure the number of IVDs you are trying to use match the number of days you're inputing to drop in the template.

Thanks, I am just trying to use one IVD to drop a 4 day. I thought I could take the first or last day of the vacation and use one of those days to put in to drop the trip? My vacation ranges October 22 to October 28 but oddly there are two sets of ranges at the left side that dont think I understand. And then the range for the IVD and I put the same day 1 July to 01 July obviously that’s not correct. Do I put the rotation date range on the right side?

if you are only using one IVD, then you can only put that on one of the days of the trip you drop. The IVD can go on any day of the trip. So, trying to move 22Oct to 01jul would be 22Oct-22Oct and 01Jul-01Jul in the template.

Thanks I’ll try that

A few more points on IVD’s…

I’m pretty sure it needs to be from your secondary (or later) vacation.

Your category has to have 15% (or 20%?) of required reserve staffing on every day the trip touches, not just for the single IVD day.

Whatever day you put your IVD on you can’t pick up anything over that day.

You can’t drop a trip if your trip touches the day prior, day of, or day after a holiday!

Good Luck, May the odds be in your favor.

25%

It’s not that you cannot get an IVD/APD approved on a holiday. You can, and it happens periodically. The controlling issue is that the company MAY deny it, not that they will.

It can be from your primary vacation as well. The only restriction is that the vacation week must be in a future bid period in the current vacation year, before that bid period’s results have been posted in DBMS.

At first read, I thought you were grading his list (he got 1 of 4 correct, so…). :D

I suck. Glad we aren’t single pilot.
