DWC CAP10 USAF

You are both welcome. The R&I committee put that out every year around mid-Jan and I find it very helpful in making sure previous year is correct for taxes and the upcoming year deductions, pay rate changes, etc, were made.

I want to use a single PB day to drop day 1 of a trip with insufficient reserve coverage. From reading the scheduling alerts I see that I have a couple of options available - putting my APD on the last day of the trip or putting in a PD for the trip and someone picking it up as a "Q" trip. I am not considering IVD use for this trip.

I think I understand the mechanics but am looking for some real world feedback. If the trip drops with either mechanism is the PB day application pretty much automatic upon completion of the smart sheet? What concerns me is this exact verbiage from the scheduling alert : ".......to request that a specified number of PB days be applied to available days of the rotation as TOFF days."

I guess my question is can the "request" be denied? Seems like its optional although I am pretty sure its not.

Some folks have actually PM'd me some good info on this subject (thanks Fellas ) but I was just hoping to hear from some folks that have put it to use recently.

Thanks Scoop

I’ve done this using APD fairly recently. Submitted the smart sheet and it was applied that day or the next I think. Pretty much automatic.

Yoooooo, anybody take a look at ATL73NA March Pilot Reserve Levels…….Would be Silver Slips galore LMAO

seems to be a trend across the NB fleets Trip.

Wouldn't that partly be because the Reserve Levels chart currently isn’t based off of each individual category’s actual staffing? The TA fixes this.

Was just looking at that…it’s crazy. I’m about 60% and I’ve had an easy mid-week GS in both Jan and Feb. Winter non-holiday GS used to be super rare, but not any more. Summers going to be nuts if this trend continues.

Yeah, in August

Don’t rub it in.
