Experts: Using PB days, it was my understanding that in the past, upon getting a reg line, a pilot could use a banked PB day to drop a trip, and then pick it back up on the very same pcs run since drops run before pickups. (as long as no one senior had a blanket WS in and would get the newly dropped trip).
Is this still possible? Or did the rules change with an LOA awhile ago? The same LOA that changed "trip parking." If I did this on a noon PCS run, can I pick up the dropped trip at noon? Or do I have to wait till the 1700 run?

That being said, I'm pretty sure that any trip or portion of a trip dropped with PB days is considered pay AND credit. Take a look at your max pick up at the bottom of your schedule. If it says you have enough room to pick it up before you use the PB days, you will have it afterwards. The tricky part is if you only drop part of the trip and how that affects your max pick up. I ran into this max pick up problem a month ago. I was legal FAR 117 wise but my max pick up prevented me from white slipping a trip. (I had used payback days to drop a couple trips.)
I'm not sure about picking it back up on the same PCS run. Never tried it.
Good luck!

Thanks Scambo and Denny, I will take those thoughts into account. My main concern was dropping the 2day ( i have 2 PB days) and then not being able to get it again if it had to sit in the pot for 5hrs for all to see, and someone senior getting it on the next run.

A barometer of the 20 or so people that comment on here. 20/12083 * 100 = .165% so if it were up to 30 people commenting on here then 30/12083 * 100 = .248%. Don't even know what kind of drop that is in some size bucket.

Compressor stall on #2 on takeoff. My mx buddy was there in Atl. Said it was fun with Obama being there and all.

Completely agree. The order is going to be a part of the 2015 package. I halfway thought about this back when we signed a 3 year deal on the last contract. They knew then the widebody order would be lining up right on time for this contract.

I think we should take a 10% pay cut if the company promises they will buy 100 777s. We don't need any time frame, or any penalties if they don't do so. Just think of all the movement that will occur.... and since bigger pays more, it is a win win deal.

So you have a larger sample size here, so you can use this group here to figure out how the next contract will go. You just have to weight it.
I'll explain, if you take all of the pilots who post here, take into account their C2012 votes and the actual votes, grab the nearest sextant and MDM and ask yourself did the NC reach a TA?
Pass.
