Pretty sure the trip that dropped because of the conflict will be paid the original worth. Not what whomever flys it now gets if it goes over the original time.

There's a corporate communications survey up for a couple of weeks. It's fairly broad but if you want to express your opinion for or against Skyhub there's a place for comments at the end.

Since I've found them both to be non-refundable I always go with Even Less.

The rules that determine whether they are refundable are myriad and not apparent to the user, so save the money.

I'll also add we are subject to the same $150 change fees as the general public.

FYI, you are also subject to the $100 pet fee imposed on the general public if you bring the dog along. Anecdotally, most of the time the agent has not charged me the pet fee when I check in as a courtesy, but they could.
In contrast, if you non-rev you are not subject to the pet fee. But of course you may not be able to get a seat that allows a pet. You cannot have a pet in a bulkhead or emer exit seat for example.

Banking question. Let’s say you have 20 hours in the bank, and March 15th you go from year one to year two pay. At the end of March, if you pull that 20 out, is it paid at the second year rate, first year, or “mixed?”

It’s paid at the rate and equipment you hold at the time you withdraw it from the bank.

... and the withdrawal is processed at the END of the bid period (month).

Yep... good strategy to fill up the bank before an upgrade. Also handy to have 10 in there in case you need to drop something the same month you luck into a green-slip.

True, although 5 hours is the most you can pull from your bank in a bid period where you get a greenslip.

If you drop something during a month when you are awarded a green-slip, you can pay for the dropped trip out of your vacation (not full service) bank.

Pay and credit with no 5 hour limit.

Good point. For full transparency, if you do this, you will have a subsequent vacation in a bid period that PBS will build your line based on the full value of that vacation, but after everything is pushed to DBMS the value will drop by however much of your vacation bank you have used up previously by doing this. You will still have the same vacation days, but you will not have the same vacation pay because your bank will run empty before it can pay for all of the days.
