Swapping FX days at DAL
I thought I saw somewhere that we had more flexibility in swapping FX days versus regular X days. I can't seem to find it in the PWA. I keep getting denied for capped reserve days. Anyone have insight on that?

FX day is just like any other X day.
You can "request" where they place it initially if you want. They will honor the request if they can but they usually place them to break up any 24 in 7 problems on your line.
ie- if you have 4 on call days at the end of a month and 4 on call days at the beginning of the following month then they will put the FX day in there somewhere to break up that 8 day block of on call duty.

Read the document "Moving X days" that the union scheduling committee puts out - it is easier to read than the contract and helped me when I was moving X-days. Also - keep trying as the coverage changes and you never know when the move might work.

Good point. I always put in the latest possible date to work the move and sometimes it goes right to the wire. Just like non-revving, never leave the gate until you see the plane push back.
