Ahh, makes sense. Thanks!

Thanks guys.
I like to use it to buy extra vacation days. If you get them before April 1st you can place them at the beginning or end of any of your awarded vacations without company concurrence. (Scheduling reference handbook page 93).
As to the other question you had, you can withdraw up to ALV +5 to a max of 82 hours for the bid period. PWA 12.N.4

If out on MLOA, I assume you can't put in bid on an AE to move domiciles?

correct, assuming your seat lock was expired on the AE in question (if switching equipment)...but a base move, that's pretty easy.

On the bank page it shows "avail deposit credit" of 7:32. Before the GS I was just over the ALV. My question is, why can't I put the full value of my GS in my bank?

And then when I decide to use my hours from the bank later on how many can I use? It says to fill up, so can I only use it if I'm below ALV to get up to ALV?

You can use a maximum of 5 hours of bank towards hitting the GS trigger. Often worthwhile to ensure as much of a GS as possible (ideally the whole thing) actually pays double.

Are you allowed to personal drop a trip that ends in the next month if all days in this month are good staffing?

Reference PWA 23. I. 9. (And Note 2 under it, which applies before the next months lines close).

Thank you. For anyone else who has this question, as long as every day that is in the current month has proper staffing and the next month doesn’t begin with a holiday, you can drop it

...it depends.
You originally asked the question on a date that the April bids were already closed. Once that happens, it then looks at the next months coverage also.
Prior to the bid lines closing it assumes all days have adequate coverage.
As you mentioned...the holiday rule always applies.
