My wife and I are expecting a baby and I had to APD a 5 day trip starting tomorrow, because I wanted to make sure that I'm home for the birth. However, I was wondering if I'm allowed to WS day trips in base since I APD the 5 day? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure about this. But if you only APD'd the first day of the trip, for example, (which caused the whole trip to be dropped) then you can WS on any of the rest of the days that were not APD'd. I don't believe you can WS on any days that you APD'd.
Good luck with the new baby!!! Enjoy your time... they grow up WAY too fast. My "little girl" just got married a couple of weeks ago!

If you did APD over the days you want to fly, call scheduling and tell them your situation. If you get the right scheduler they will make it work for you. I would think especially in your situation. They have worked with me in the past concerning this same issue. Congratulations on your new arrival! Surprised the wife is willing to let you fly. My wife would have beat the $hit out of me if I left her around that time!!

You said that this Krash guy isn't one of them hat guys... and I said I'll bet he is now... or all of this operation visine garbage I have been hearing since the merger is nothing but a bunch of whiny bull****. IOW.. It would seem that the "red" is now firmly in control is one of the guys that high up can blatantly and willfully blow off something in the policy manual. and last I heard, the uniform was in the policy manual. SO if he DOESN'T say something to one of you guys that is carrying your hat in hand as you walk down the concourse, he has already lost my respect.
With regard to the hat, there's a difference between Andy Griffith and Barney Fife. Krash is an Andy Griffith kind of guy where he would want you to wear your hat per policy, but he's not Barney Fife about it. That's what I was trying to tell you. But if you still want to disrespect him for that, I'm sure he won't lose much sleep.

That is a one way to pay it. If we were not discussing an alternate union, there are many on here like myself that are very open to change that would be willing to debate what we should change. We just choose not to shoot inside the circle when trying to get rid of ALPA.
