Is a person able to swap with the pot one (5-day) trip for two (3-day/2-day) trips?

If so, does a person put both requested (Add) rotations on line #1, or above/below each other on line #1/#2? Thanks.

If you put both requested trips on line #1, you will get the swap only if you can be awarded both of them. If all the trips cover the same footprint it shouldn't be a problem unless the two requested trips don't have legal rest time between them. I'm not sure what that is and I'm too lazy to look it up...

If you put the two requested trips on different lines, you're telling PBS you want the trip on line #1 as first priority OR the second trip on line #2 as second priority; you won't get both that way.

In the first case, if the footprints of the trip you're trying to drop and the ones you're trying to pick up don't match, reserve coverage will come into play.

Thanks for the reply.

I just used 3 payback days to drop a 3 day trip. If I WS that same trip, it effectively pays double, correct? Just want to make sure I'm not going to work for free.

Correct if you have the pickup limit to be awarded the trip.

Thanks. On my monthly schedule it still shows the trip there with the code TOFF. What does the mean?

Time off. The important thing is to check your time card to see that its paid.

On a related note. I have 3 payback days that are about 4+ hours each. If I YS over those days it won't reduce the value of those APD's correct?

You can't work on days you used a APD.
