How come some trips are tagged to be assigned to reserve pilots only?

If it is a trip that originated in another base and someone sicked out during the trip, or they otherwise broke up a trip from another base, they can only fill it with a reserve.

Thanks Big E. Makes sense. I have always wondered but have never asked. I assume if there isn't reserve coverage then it goes thru the normal assignment priority.

Vacation pay counts towards the 75hr GS threshold, correct?

PBS question.

I have 78:45 pre award credit for June bid period for vacation and FMLA starting June 5. My ALV is 84:00. I'm very junior but usually hold a line. I want to be off June 2-4 (the whole bid period). Whats the best way to make sure they don't throw a two or three day in there on me?

Right now I have:

Start Pairings
Set Condition Min Credit
Prefer Off June 2, 3, 4
Award Pairings

Is this my best bet?

Does anyone know the ALPA number to call for PBS questions?
