So in plain English, you get a new APD the first day of your anniversary month. I verified this in JAN. I used mine last year and then on my time card in JAN (my anniversary month) it shows APD available as Y.
Remember if you're dropping a trip as a REG pilot you only need to APD one day of the trip to drop the whole thing. That will leave you available to WS/GS on the other days should you choose to. Remember that an APD is like a vacation day, so if it says APD for a date you can't do anything (which is the point
)

I'm trying to drop a trip that starts on October 30th and ends on November 2nd. The pilot reserve levels Reqd/Avail show 26/2 on the 30th, 36/2 on the 31st, 34/24 on the 1st, and 24/25 on the 2nd. I'm willing to use my APD, but I'd prefer to keep it. Will it let me PD the trip because the reserve levels are acceptable on the 2nd, or will I have to use an APD on either the 1st or 2nd in order to drop the trip?
Basically for an APD to go through it will require at least 25% of the required coverage each day to drop. The 1st and 2nd would go through but it won't drop because A and B day have such poor coverage.
A PD has to have Avail > Required for each day of the trip.
Additionally APD's have a few other restrictions around the major holidays and the super bowl. Otherwise you need a min of 25% avail vs required.
You might also try putting it up on the pilot to pilot swap board in icrew or try trading it for a different trip or smaller trips that operate on the same days and then maybe you could drop the 1st/2nd if you're able to break up the 4 days. Sometimes it takes more than 1 PCS run to accomplish what you want.

Is it awkward if one of the pilots on a rotation wears the jacket and he other does not? Seems like it would be a little odd.

Something much more memorable might be a canal barge rental through the canal systems (France, Holland, England, Germany, etc). Cheap, do-it-yourself fun at your own pace, no prior boating experience needed, wafting along intimate little canals thru pastoral European countryside with merely "a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou..."
Walk along the footpaths, bike into local villages, have the wife open and close the ancient locks, as you glide through.... Doesn't get anymore romantic. You can rent one by yourself, or share.
Worth looking into

EDIT: Just saw pilotc90a's response; still happy to have any more links you may know of....
The wife and I did one several years ago,$299 each for seven days through Dargal.com. I haven't seen one at that price in years though. It was nice, although we were the youngest on the ship by far.
Someone else mentioned the rent your own boat. We rented ours through LeBoat.com and it was a blast. Very Leisurely, met lots of great people, drank lots of fresh wine (not that old stuff! ). Also look for locaboat.com.
If you don't want to drive yourself, try: Enchante we got a tour, and it looked very nice, and the smell from the kitchen was amazing.

That sounds incredible.... Can you throw a link or two to the barge outfits? What sort of preparation is needed? (You mention no boating experience needed, but what about where to dock, rules-of-the-road, etc?)
