Call scheduling and ask if you can change it. I made a similar error and they were nice enough to fix it after I ask very humbly...

‘It was originally called “Authorized Leave” and it was 5 days long that was negotiated down to 3 days when I got hired. It was paid. As in you could drop a trip and get paid for it or drop reserve days and get paid, or at least not lose pay. This evolved into the APD in bad times.

Agree with what Sailing said above.

Not to change the subject to much

Not finding the cutoff to put in for a PD (personal drop) to utilize a SUPP Day.

If the trip is on the 7th of January, does it need to be put in for when they run the cards at 7am for the PCS run on 6 January?

Any PB days from 2020 that became SUP days can be used to drop trips and get paid for them before the the new vacation year begins in April 2021.

Not sure if this is currently how it’s done but in the past you needed to PD the trip and then call crew scheduling and tell them you want to use a SUP day/s to cover the trip. Don’t wait till the last minute.

Thanks Denny

Just trying to figure out when the cut off is or when its to late. Saving it in case of a swap with the pot till the cut off.

I'll PD it last minute if need be, or just fly it if i'm to late pulling the trigger. Just can't find the exact cut off time.

Since I have Feb/Mar, I'll get it done at some point to avoid the vacation day.

Sounds good! I’d think that the last PCS when you can PD a trip for the next day would be the cut off. Lol! Not exactly sure which one that is!

Denny

IIRC, 2200 on Monday is the last opportunity to drop a trip on Friday.

Scheduling Alert 20-25 outlines the new way to use SUP days -- PB days from 2020 -- in January, February, and March. You submit either a TOFF request form or a Payback Day request. If you call crew scheduling, they'll tell you to submit these forms.

Edit: The scheduling handbook says what Denny says to do, but it is apparently now outdated.

Edit 2: The links to the forms are in the 20-25 email.

Thanks for the info! I figured it might have changed since the last time I had PB days turn into SUPP days. Personally, I don’t have to worry about them anymore!

23.I.10.c.1 says "single rotation of any length"

You might be confusing it with 23.I.10.c.2 which says "multiple rotations totaling no more than 4 consecutive days" or 23.I.10.c.3 which says "no more than four consecutive reserve on-call days"
