Not sure what you're asking. Are you trying to drop a trip or reserve day(s)? If you are swapping day for day with trips (as long as your swap isn't creating or exacerbating a below coverage situation) you should get it approved. You can usually APD with less than 20/20 coverage (once a year). In either case you can pick up on days you had off earlier in the month regardless of staffing.

 

Not 100% sure but I don't think you can pick up flying on any days that an APD touches.

 

Shows you how little I know.



These are the CRJ900 epaulets aren't they? Instead of Epaulets, they are "Egolets."

I think I'm going to promote myself to Admiral. I am tired of being out ranked by RJ guys.

 

That cracked me up

 

You can APD just one day of a trip, lets say day one of a 4 day, but can pick up on the last three days since they weren't APD'd.

 

Sorry. Drop a 4 day later in the month that has 20/20 coverage on the first day, and pick up a similar trip earlier in the month on off days.

 

Sherman did take it a little far I think but if you watch the replay, after the play was over he went up to Crabtree, patted him on the butt, said something we will never know (I'm guessing it was something like "nice try" or "better luck next time" or "not in my backyard") then Crabtree shoved him in the face. Whatever he said at that time I don't think it was a taunt but might have been taken that way. I think that's what set Sherman off for the rest of the night.

Any way, what ever happened, it's over and done with. I'm looking forward to the Super Bowl. Number one offense against the number one defense. Should be a great game! Oh, and even better, I have it off!

I'm pretty sure it won't let you drop it with a PD since the coverage isn't higher than the resv required. Same reason for why it wouldn't let you swap it.

 

No it won't because that swap would cause the reserve coverage to go 20/19. You will need it to be 20/21 to get the swap. You can't PD it either for the same reason.

One thing that would be nice to get is allowing swaps if we swap into a "worse" coverage situation. A lot of times I have wanted to swap a trip that was even on coverage for one that was on days that were negative. Still won't allow it.

 

All this talk about pilots and parties... I have a great story!

I was at my wife's high school reunion which was at a hotel. I was hanging out at a table enjoying a free beer while my wife was hanging out with her friends. From across the room, I see a guy in a pilot uniform! I thought that was kind of odd. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he may be on a layover. I decided to walk on over and strike up a conversation. If flew at Skywest at the time, and I didn't recognize his uniform.

Me: Hi. How's it going? You a pilot?
Him: Yep.
Me: Who do you fly for?
Him: Skywest.
Me: Really? Southwest?
Him: No. Skywest.
Me: Skyway?
Him: No. SKYWEST!
Me: (Enjoying this way too much) Skywalk?
Him: (Getting frustrated) NO! SKYWEST!
Me: Do you mean the Skywest in St. George, Utah that flies for United and Delta?
Him: Yep!
Me: That's odd... I'm a pilot for Skywest and that's NOT our uniform.

It was SOOOO classic! Turns out the guy had a class date a couple weeks in the future and decided to wear a pilot uniform to his 10 year high school reunion. He didn't plan on a Skywest pilot being there! Funny stuff!
