Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

You can white slip any trip you want in the current month if you have the pickup without regard to pickup limits or FAR conflicts it will create in the following month. You can even have a direct overlap on the trips and still get the WS.
It's a easy and excellent way to get the 4th of July off if you are a bottom feeding line holder. Have a trip flying 2-5 Jul, pick up a trip flying 1-2 July and you have the Holiday off and the company can't deny it.
Trips dropped in that situation are unpaid.

Sailing speaks the truth. I used this technique every month when I was on the 88. It was required knowledge if you participated in the drop your schedule, WS/GS mafia game

I always bid for a 4 or 5 day trip the first day of the bid period having no intentions of flying it

Is reserve coverage required for the non-overlap days that drop? Using SF's example, if I have a 2-5 July trip and I WS a 1-2 July trip. For that to go through do I require blue days on the 3-5th?

The company can't deny the prior month WS for any reason as long as it's within your pickup limit for the month the trip originates. Reserve coverage can be negative 20 and it does not matter. If you pick a trip up on the last day of the bid period since credit is accounted for at the end of the trip you might need as little as two hours of pickup available.

Ty. Makes sense for a carryout trip. If both trips begin in the same month then reserve coverage applies I assume?

Does anyone know how to look up somebody else's schedule? I went to personnel (icrew) then cross reference by name or employee number. It gave me their phone email and base but from there i didn't see an option to
View their schedule??

You would have to personal drop the conflicting trip to WS the trip you want so it would apply. You could try and swap as a alternative.

OK, talking about C/I and C/O over the transition is what you meant. Now that makes sense and yup July 4th always works and an early September labor day also works. That's a schedule enhancer, I thought the topic was pay enhancement for company dropped trips.

Is there a way to put known doctors appointments and/or your FAA physical into icrew or PBS, or do you just have to try your best to bid around these appointments and then deal with the aftermath?

You have to bid around it. It would be a nice enhancement but would also be horribly abused. FAA docs would be swamped around every holiday!
