Not to change the subject but I just finished doing the quarterly CQ and am scratching my head at what they talk about in it versus what has come down as guidance for pushing back from the gate and entering WDR numbers etc. It seems to me in the CQ cd that they want us to vigilant and not be distracted during pushback because it is a high threat maneuver and yet I feel like the guidance that has come down recently has said go ahead and put numbers in during pushback. I don't do that. I either put them in before pushback or after we are stopped with the brakes set and receive the wave off.
Just curious what others think. I will continue to do it my way!

PCS Swap denial
Tried to trade a trip (swap with pot) starting on 23 Apr for one starting on 24 Apr. Both 4-day trips, nothing funky, no issues with capped reserve dates. There are two days with min reserves, but both trips cover both days = a wash.
I got denied with the message, "Not allowed until next month's scheds are released."
I get it if these were spillout trips, but neither one is.
What am I missing?

Note: During the PBS bid award process, a swap involving a rotation that contains any duty period, or portion thereof, that is within the last six days of the current bid period will not be granted.
Until the schedules are released into DBMS, we are still within the "PBS bid award process."

Pesky details. Did not use(or know about) the pairings ordered. Just listed them and ASSumed they would process in order. Not just randomly. Live and learn. Thanks guys.

I thought all trip swaps were 'frozen' from bid closure to bid awards? To prevent a swap interfering with your May award, or such. Not sure of the specifics but call 1-800-USA-ALPA tomorrow and ask for Scheduling Committee, or call Screw Kids and ask if they know why.

I thought it was just carry outs, but it looks like the other herc driver gave him his (likely correct) answer.
