Only switching bases requires no training, so the conflict could never exist.
7 C.7.a. just says you will retain the vacation
7 C.7.b.2. is the reference for choosing to retain a vacation on an AE bid when training is required

Question using an APD.
If on reserve can I use it to drop a weekend, or does it only work for a specific day? I’d like to have Saturday and Sunday off, but didn’t know if they would only honor 1 day. Thanks!
Actually just found in the contract, looks like up to four consecutive reserve on call days.

Currently, I bid for reserve.... but according to PBS Wide report, no more reserve available and was awarded a line for June.
Just looked at ICREW, and was assigned reserve for June according to ICREW.
Has this happened to anyone before?

But because we are pilots, we want our bid results NOW!! and complain when we don't get it. Sometimes it is better to just let the process run, and if it takes the PBS process a little longer (though still contractually compliant) it is better than having to perhaps scramble and fix things later in the game.
