I know you can white slip, and I know why that would be a questionable decision. I'm trying to drop a trip later in the month and at this point, a swap is about my only option.

I hope that made sense.

Yes you can, but they’ll take pay and credit and apply it to pay back your sick time for the days you fly on the original footprint.

WSing on the same footprint isn’t a problem at all. If you’re not sick any more and there’s a trip you want, WS it. Same payback rules apply.

Careful, it’s not the pay and credit from the original footprint. If the trip conflicts, ALL pay and credit up to the value of your sick leave will be used to replenish. In the case of a GS/IA, it’s the entire single pay portion, but none of the double pay portion.

Thanks guys. Understand it will go towards replenishing sick bank. I'm just considering it as a way of dumping an unwanted trip down the line

First of course, need to shake this bug

I yield to the expert! Thanks bugman for stating it better/correctly.

How is the company in regards to getting time off for your wedding? I'll be starting roughly 6 months out from my wedding, will they work with you to make sure you're off if you're a new hire? And if you're still in training?

you’ll be fine. Your mentor and CPO will help ensure you get the time off somehow

717 Reserve
 
How long can most people expect to sit reserve in ATL on the 717?

FO side. Came to the 717 in August, I think I sat reserve 3-4 months before I entered line holding territory. Bidding 75% +/-. Flying a fair amount of weekends or partial weekends. Reserve wasn't too shabby living in base, I could hold on-call tues-thur with fri-mon off on a few stretches of the month. May bid back to it.

If you're in training, you may not be able to get a wedding plus honeymoon but they will work with you to get your time off for the weekend. If you're out of training, your CPO will be able to drop trips or reserve days from your schedule without pay if you can't bid it off normally.
