I was overseas at the time and had to get it at a government facility.I was told then that getting it a any other clinic would not be acceptable and I would not be allowed to re-enter without the government printed YF card. BTW YF is good for 10 years, and if you are planning to spend a fair amount of time overseas there are plently of other vaccines recommended as well depending on where you will be spending time. I had YF. Cholera, Typhoid, Hepatitis, Tetanus....... as I was in Africa and South Asia.

As a regular line holder you can do anything you want over personal drop days. Lots of pilots will personal drop their entire schedule and cherry pick white slips.

And I have a problem with that!

Why don't they let them have a blank regular line instead of taking all the good trips then dumping them back into the pot?

I don't know any airline that currently offers what would basically be a leave of absence at every pilots discretion. It would certainly give us amazing leverage in contract talks.
Even given our current system pilots get access to those trips via the swap or WS process. The guys I know clearing their Skeds generally tend to be junior line holders. A few are senior guys who are trying to go max credit for GS's.

Most are junior guys and the problem I have with it is most drop their schedule and out of base WS so they don't have to commute. Lots of NYC guys doing that.
