If your PD is successful (or somebody white slips your Q trip), you are free to white slip/green slip on any of the days.

To use your APD, there has to be at least 25% reserves required,(except during certain holiday periods). You can drop a trip with just one APD day, but then you can't white or green slip over the dropped day(hence the reason to only use one day if you want to pick up something else) Also, you can only APD one trip a year.

Thanks Omar, I knew there was [a lot] something I was forgetting.

Does anything change if the PD/APD is used on day D (instead of day A)?

Thanks in advance.

Don't knock it 'till you've tried it!

Just remember, once you go back door, you'll never come back!

Bid award alert: If you back door'd your award yesterday, check the front door today.

Someone above mentioned they pulled them down yesterday, and then put them back up, they must have rerun them because my award changed from the first posting to today's posting. So go check again if you haven't seen today's postings.

I actually got a better line (days I wanted) in the second run.

Thanks PBS QC guys!

(I may have to rethink going back door! My wife will be happier, no doubt!)

I don't believe that works the way you imagine it.

If you call in sick on day A, wouldn't any WS or GS for day B,C,D count as sick payback and you'd only "score" on day E?

That maneuver is too pedestrian to be workable
