Hey quick question for you PBS gurus. How do I slide vacation? I put set condition slide vacation, and it lets me enter a number up to the number 4. Does this slide the vacation to later in the month or earlier in the month? I am guessing later because any more than 4 would be into July. Can you slide it both ways?

Yes you can slide it either way. The PBS Gouge explains all this in good detail.

And you are right, the reason it will only show you plus 4 days is, you cannot slide it into the next month.

Dear Capt. Spackler,
We are in receipt of the underboob you sent us on May 4th, for which we thank you.
With regards to the issue of "Sick Time", it appears that we, and others involved, concur on several points:
1) The issue (like the underboob) is largely manufactured.
2) There have been no demonstrations of systemic abuse requiring any panties (of which your picture contained none) to be damaged.
It appears to us that it would be just as foolish to try to prove that there has not been any abuse at the individual level, as it is to equate anecdotal reports of abuse with a systemic problem.
We will close the file.
Sincerely,
Sink r8 & Company
After receipt of your correspondence, we are compelled to keep you abreast of current threats to our profession so you can remain safe within the bosom of your fellow pilots. We should all strive for no cleavage between us.
There is no question that our managers are being coached by Ford & Harrison trained operatives. The F&H methodology for union busting is an approach based on stealth and usurping a union's unity from within. The approach is based on false data and false claims for the purpose of pilots voluntarily devaluing certain contractual items and seeing their group as unworthy of gains. It's a softer and more effective approach versus direct labor confrontation. The purposeful attempt by members of our own Union to devalue profit sharing by referring to it as "at risk compensation" is an example. Pilots resigning themselves to another sick leave degradation because of false and unproven claims of "others" who shamelessly abuse sick leave, is another example.
It's useful to understand the F&H strategies because once you know them, it's easy to recognize the tactics as they're being deployed.
Warmest regards,
Carl

Yes, you can slide it both ways. To slide it earlier in the month, you use the minus sign in front of how many days you want it slid, like this: -7 which would be 7 days earlier in the month.
And you are right, the reason it will only show you plus 4 days is, you cannot slide it into the next month.

Use the down arrow to make a negative number. For everyone else reading this board.
The point is that sick leave abuse is both provable and a serious enough offense to be terminated. Pilots aren't being terminated for sick leave abuse. It's a pretty important distinction. I've never understood why pilots are so willing to believe the worst of their fellow pilots without any proof of the alleged wrongdoing.
Pilots win when we refuse to believe management propaganda of systemic sick leave abuse.
Sure.
