There will be plenty of summers during your career where you'll be flying you butt off. Consider this a gift, go fishing.

if you want to use your days during the summer instead of Oct, look into vacation move up. Also, IVD, or individual vacation days, are used to drop a trip after you get your schedule by borrowing future vacation days. This might work for you but restrictions apply, see pwa for details. If you want to use it in July, have your request in before the 20th.

If you are referring to using them to drop something, I'm assuming your talking about IVD's. You put that in the leaves section of ICREW and it generally follows the rules as an APD except you get paid vacation for those days instead of nothing.

Info page of the monthly bid package has a link to an excel spreadsheet that you put that info into and it will lay it out for you as to how many on call days and what your pay will be.

ATL 320B has two trips in open time for tonight both covering the same departure from ATL-SAN @ 1839. Pairings 0876 and 4905. Curious as to how that will play out.

I’d guess they’re in the process of breaking the trip up because of poor reserve coverage. Maybe a green slip for tonight and then use a reserve for the balance tomorrow.
