Unrelated question: I put a trip in for personal drop prior to the 0700 PCS run this morning. The trip is not showing up in qualified open time. What am I doing wrong?

I don’t think it’s relevant but I also listed it under drops in the pilot to pilot swap board….

Does the trip start in less than 48 hours? Only trips that begin 48 hours or more in advance are shown in qualified open time.

1. It’s 8 days out to report.
2. single trip drop.

Swap board had a taker so it’s gone now, but still don’t understand what happened. Bidding lines sucks. I’m going back to reserve!

two pairs of socks.

hat, gloves, scarf.

yes long johns. silk is best to give a layer of warmth but still survive when it’s warmer inside and where you’re going.

My guess is the trip encroaches the end of month schedule freeze.

*1800 EST on the 11th until schedules are published.

** Same logic applies to end of month X day moves on reserve.
