Who would participate in such a thing?

Can you describe your involvement at the BOD last October?

 

That’s funny!

 

I have a 3 day trip Sunday and am trying to swap it for a 1 day trip that same day. Reserve is low on Sunday, but good on Monday and Tuesday. Will it allow me to swap?? Thanks!

 

We have no facts that this even happened. There’s the problem. The final day update for the MEC meeting is missing and no information has been disseminated. That aside, I can guarantee there was alcohol available at the suite. I can also guarantee that private setting as opposed to a public lounge or bar contributed to the situation. I’m through paying for a booze lounge were grown adults act like children and then try to shield their actions from scrutiny.

Resolution upcoming. I’ll post when I finish it for others to copy or use. Any feedback on the language etc. will be welcomed.

 

The swap should go through.

 

Thanks sailing, I called to ask scheduling and they said it would not work. I guess I’ll find out on the next run..

 

You could post the actual numbers for a more detailed answer. As Sailing posted, it should work....



However, a wrinkle is that the Super Bowl is one of the "APD Holidays"--they can deny a PD regardless of coverage. From what you describe, it probably won't work--because on those "holiday" periods, you have to get a day-by-day coverage that is worse (not the same) to make the swap. On non-holiday periods, there appears to be an exception (experience, I cannot point to a reference) for "same day" swaps; but not during the "holiday"--you would have to have a 3-day or greater trip to "cover" the one you have, even though only the single day is showing negative....



You could try: trading for that 1-day AND something that covers the other days (then drop the second trip you don't want). Trading for that 1-day AND something with a negative number somewhere (assumes you either want that 2nd trip or are willing to roll the dice that it will allow you to drop it down the road). Swap board?

 

Actually, the language in PWA 23 that deals with the holidays, i.e. super bowl in this case, only refers to APD's being denied if it falls on a holiday. The section above it that deals with PD's does not mention the holiday thing. PWA 23.I.10 vs PWA 23.I.9. I successfully did a PD for a 4 day that spanned super bowl sunday just a few days ago. But when I did it, the reserve coverage on SB Sunday was above the required #. I think his PD should work.

 

23.V.5.b. is what you want to look at, not 23.I. And, it's not "just" on the holiday, it's 2 days before through 1 day after--it's any day(s) of the trip during those days affects the whole trip (i.e., the whole trip is treated as a "holiday" trip).


Your success with all positive days is not the same situation.

 

I understand that, but as we were talking about APD holiday's, 23.I.10 says that the only drop that may be denied regardless of reserve coverage if it falls on a holiday, is a APD. A personal drop is not affected by the holiday restriction, only an authorized personal drop. His PD success/failure on Sunday will be a function of the formula you referred to, not due to APD holidays, since it's not an APD. Thats my only point.
