PDs are just a straight drop for no pay. The P/D shows up just for clerical reasons mostly. There are no restrictions for you now. If it was an APD then you couldn’t work on the days APD show on your schedule.

You are good to go. Only "negative" is the loss of pay/credit.

If you have any payback days in the bank you can put them over the PD and get paid to stay home.

Thanks for the help guys. I actually do have one payback day. Can I still use it even though I already dropped the trip? If so, how do I do that?

PCS, leave requests, pay back day. If your trip is already personal dropped, you cant retroactively drop it again with a payback day if that is what you are asking. You have to find another trip or rsv day to drop now. Btw, one payback day drops a day trip.

At the risk of highlighting the obvious...if you pick up a 1-day from item time worth 8:00, you can drop it on the next PCS run (assuming adequate reserve coverage). You could, of course, then pick it up again and actually fly it. 16-hour 1-day without having to meet the GS trigger. Seniority ain't just for getting weekends off...

When jumpseating, wearing business casual, can you bring your bag down to the ramp with your ID? Do you have to be in uniform?

If you read the FOM turns out the only time you can take a bag down is in uniform when deadheading. JSers arent allowed.

That is incorrect. See FOM 26.1.4.
