Edited to add: can I do this PB trip pickup then drop before the 20th of the month for next month's schedule?
My guess is yes you can drop the trip with the PB paid, and no to dropping it before the 20th. Sorry I guess this is useless without knowing for sure.

No, that's good info. Makes sense to not be able to drop it before the 20th. Thanks.

FYI, you can drop any trip with a PB day not just the same matching number of days. I had 2 PB days and dropped a 4 day, the first 2 days were 7+ so I got 14:46 for the 2 PB days and picked up an easy 3 day over the footprint worth 15:45. 3 days worked for 30:31. If you are using PB(s) for pay find a front loaded trip.

This is good intel, but just a little outdated. The new hotness is you can use just one payback day at a time if you want, just have to communicate it with scheduling on the online form on deltanet. The value of this is ridiculous compared to the old way. If on an international fleet you can turn every PB day into 10-12 hours+ vs the old way, which required you to use as many PB days as you had up to the length of the trip. Second day of intl trip is usually zero, so if you had two PB days, you’d get one big day and one zero. Now both can be YUGE. Works good for domestic sharpshooting as well.

So if a GS pays double above the lesser of the ALV or 75hrs, why does my timecard say "REG G/S TRIGGER: 72:00."?

The ALV is 80.

I think LOA 20-04 permanently set the GS trigger at the lesser of 72 hours or ALV minus five (5).

LOA 20-04 lowered the GS trigger to ALV-5 not to exceed 72hrs.

EDIT looks like 370 types faster than I do

Thanks for that! I'm always worried about screwing something up so I usually try and keep things as simple as possible (have been burned in the past when I tried to get too fancy for my own good and missed something ) but I may try this one.
