FYI: Thanks again to my southern Brothers on the ins & outs of swaps, drops and trip trades. I did get the trip I wanted, by swapping another trip and picking an additional trip (drop 1, pickup 2). This let me get the trip I wanted and keep me under max pick up. I still have the POS carry out trip. As others have said, they are like Aids....

Use your APD if you don't think you will need it later. It resets every year on the first day of your hire month.

Does sick pay, pay the same for white slips? I've got a white slip starting in a couple days but starting to feel pretty bad. If I call in sick do I get trip credit paid via sick leave? Also, what happens if I call in well on the 2 or 3rd day of the trip? Been with the company 3 years and never used sick leave. Not sure how it works.

I don't think he'll get the APD over New Year's... although weirder things have happened: they once forget to set up the APD holliday filter over Christmas, and let a bunch of guys drop their trip. Ooops...

I doubt they make the same mistake again so soon, but it was rather enhoyable.

Be careful about calling in well on any day the trip is still operating if you want full pay for the trip. Say you have a 4 day, call in sick on the first day and then call in well in the morning on the third day, you would only get sick pay for the first 2 days. This came about because there were guys calling in sick on day one and then well on day 2 then green slipping.
