Thanks - will try that today.

We know what he did that night at the Budokan.
He wants you to want him.

My buddy George has a place at Lake Como. He just got married to a super busy lawyer but I'll see if he has time to teach him.

Anyhow, Scheduling put it as a personal drop, and to bastardize Monty Python, every drop is precious when you're on rookie pay. What's the procedure to get this fixed? Call Scheduling, go through the CPO, or is there a correction form somewhere in iCrew I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

How did they put it down as a PD? Call them back and tell them you said, "Sick." I hope you used that word. Take note of when you called.

Didn't even know scheduling could do a personal drop. I thought that had to happen through pcs.

It's a huge QOL benefit.

I usually disagree with a lot of what PD says, but not this time. I love the flexibility of dropping trips that we have. Any min month provision in a future TA will be an automatic no vote from me.

So for newbies, after calling in sick, we call in well.

Then... What options do we have? Pick up parts of our trip if available? Pick up flying to replenish sick time? Or forget that and just go GS?

Curious on techniques and contract options as I continue to skim our PWA.

Thx.

You can put in a GS, but I'm not sure how they would look at you calling in sick for a 5-day, calling in well on day 2, then snagging a 3 day GS. I think you can only WS on days that your original trip was on.
