If it is a trip that originated in another base and someone sicked out during the trip, or they otherwise broke up a trip from another base, they can only fill it with a reserve.

Thanks Big E. Makes sense. I have always wondered but have never asked. I assume if there isn't reserve coverage then it goes thru the normal assignment priority.

Vacation pay counts towards the 75hr GS threshold, correct?

Yes plus training also

Awesome, thanks.

Makes even more sense now. Thanks Boyd.

OK the AE is closed, where's the results! :D

PBS question.

I have 78:45 pre award credit for June bid period for vacation and FMLA starting June 5. My ALV is 84:00. I'm very junior but usually hold a line. I want to be off June 2-4 (the whole bid period). Whats the best way to make sure they don't throw a two or three day in there on me?

Right now I have:

Start Pairings
Set Condition Min Credit
Prefer Off June 2, 3, 4
Award Pairings

Is this my best bet?

Does anyone know the ALPA number to call for PBS questions?
