I am eying a 2 day trip (both days in June bid period) that pays 10:30 (which would put me over the max P/U) so clearly I cannot do a straight WS to pick it up. But wait, I thought to myself....what if I were to WS a different 2 day trip that straddles the bid period and pays 5:45 in June and the rest in July (01 Jul - 02 Jul) and then put in a PS for the same PCS run for the trip I want? Could that be processed on the same transaction? Would icrew deny the PS since the WS spill over trip is not currently on my schedule? Worst case I guess I would have to wait until the subsequent PCS run to do the PS? I figured since PWs are processed first, it could pick up the trip then do a PS right after....

RSVs are showing black for all days involved and it would be a 2 day for a 2 day...
Nothing on the swap board? You probably already know this but you can pick up til FAR limits on swap board.

Why do you feel sorry for him? I'm not trying to chuck any spears, but isn't he just executing his contractual right? Why does anyone care how much he flies??Maybe he's trying to be as lucrative as possible this summer. Maybe he's trying to pay off a few bills and has some extra free time. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure he has his reasons...he was just looking for a qwik PCS answer not a lecture on how much you think he should fly or not.

Even better idea, wait for that end of the month GS; work smarter, not harder.

Across the street (highway) and up the hill from the hotel... not a bad walk or the hotel will run you up there... hotel front desk can call ahead and set you up...$100ish for cart/caddy clubs... pretty nice course.

Was initially rumored to be July but I think one of the latest Crew Resource letters says it will now be Aug or Sept.

If we are fortunate enough to get a first/business seat when non-rev, does that mean we can use the sky club that day??

i don't know the answer for sure but I think the main problem would be that you won't get your boarding pass until just prior to departure.
