Thanks for the info. I have a 4 day, that I am desperately trying to get rid of, but have a block of 7 days off in a row, so was planning on dropping my 4, for a 2+3 as no 4 days are open over that block.

Thanks!

It can’t be done until the beginning of next month. Whenever the new contractual month starts. 48 hr is only for OT requests and drop requests.

Thanks again for the info, I agree the way I phrased it was could have been misconstrued. Is there any 'tricks' such as adding an additional day trip to the trade to sweeten the deal for CS?

When I worked at ExpressJet - the 'red/redder equivalent' was almost always tripped for 4 for 5 trade!

I did post it in P2P, with a $100 sweetener too.

How do reserve swaps work? I’m trying to trade the 16th off next month for a day earlier in the month or later in month (after the 19th). Do I have the option of specifying days in RF 100 SWAP or could I very well be given a day I don’t want? And is this done during the upcoming 48 hr window?

For all those who were forced to upgrade, don’t forget to volunteer for a complimentary training freeze...

There are very easy ways to get around going to upgrade training if you really don't want to go. Senior FOs, if they wanted to, could never upgrade and spend a perpetual cycle of senior FO and training department. Using vacation to block the start of training, bidding back to FO and then displacing to a different equipment for a new long term cycle. I'm not sure why more FOs aren't using the contract to push back against this.
