Just so my old brain feels content with my understanding of the GS trigger……
I understand taking bank time to get 5 hours, etc
just talking pay…
If I am at 74 hours credit for the
month and pick up a 2 day GS, my pay would be:
A. 74 plus 10:30 for GS= 84:30, no GS pay because I'm not at 75...
B. 74 plus 10:30 for GS, plus 9:30 GS pay = 94:00 (this is what time card shows)
just want to make sure it's not option A and I should put in for a one day WS. because option B is plenty for the month…
Thanks

So in plain English, you get a new APD the first day of your anniversary month. I verified this in JAN. I used mine last year and then on my time card in JAN (my anniversary month) it shows APD available as Y.
Remember if you're dropping a trip as a REG pilot you only need to APD one day of the trip to drop the whole thing. That will leave you available to WS/GS on the other days should you choose to. Remember that an APD is like a vacation day, so if it says APD for a date you can't do anything (which is the point
)

I'm trying to drop a trip that starts on October 30th and ends on November 2nd. The pilot reserve levels Reqd/Avail show 26/2 on the 30th, 36/2 on the 31st, 34/24 on the 1st, and 24/25 on the 2nd. I'm willing to use my APD, but I'd prefer to keep it. Will it let me PD the trip because the reserve levels are acceptable on the 2nd, or will I have to use an APD on either the 1st or 2nd in order to drop the trip?
Basically for an APD to go through it will require at least 25% of the required coverage each day to drop. The 1st and 2nd would go through but it won't drop because A and B day have such poor coverage.
A PD has to have Avail > Required for each day of the trip.
Additionally APD's have a few other restrictions around the major holidays and the super bowl. Otherwise you need a min of 25% avail vs required.
You might also try putting it up on the pilot to pilot swap board in icrew or try trading it for a different trip or smaller trips that operate on the same days and then maybe you could drop the 1st/2nd if you're able to break up the 4 days. Sometimes it takes more than 1 PCS run to accomplish what you want.

Is it awkward if one of the pilots on a rotation wears the jacket and he other does not? Seems like it would be a little odd.
