Unless the company decides to not honor the "retain vacation" request. ;)

They would never do that! We are a people-oriented company afterall. 🤣

Thanks all for the information!

Yes. Ops tested.

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.

Don’t forget you can also use iVD days and get vacation pay for those days instead of just losing two days pay.

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?

That’s why it’s no official until posted in DBMS. But it does sound weird.

Not sure of your category but at least one category in ATL is all messed up. I won't gab further but give it a day or two before you make plans based on what is in iCrew. This is why guys need to be patient and let the company and ALPA overseers take their time on this stuff. Contractually, the company has until 1800 on the 17th to get these schedules into DBMS. They have never not made the deadline.

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.

Probably my category that is AFU.
Just for the record, I wasn't %$#&'n actually just pleasantly pleased that I had reserve in ICREW despite what the PBS reports said. I've never heard of the transition to ICREW that dramatic, ie between lineholder vs reserve.
Either way I will come to terms with what's been awarded and begin work to fix as best I can on the morning of the 20th.

Editors note: Just noticed that ICREW June schedule is locked down again..... so probably just a temp bit of what could've been, had it not been for 'denial mode'.
