Not sure what you mean. The PCS run will not allow a WS to be added to a schedule if it violates FARs. If the trip then later changes by reroute or over block, I don't think it matters if it was a white slip, or a swap with the pot, or swap board pickup.
Could you direct me to a reference?

It's a easy and excellent way to get the 4th of July off if you are a bottom feeding line holder. Have a trip flying 2-5 Jul, pick up a trip flying 1-2 July and you have the Holiday off and the company can't deny it.
Trips dropped in that situation are unpaid.

You can white slip any trip you want in the current month if you have the pickup without regard to pickup limits or FAR conflicts it will create in the following month. You can even have a direct overlap on the trips and still get the WS.

I always bid for a 4 or 5 day trip the first day of the bid period having no intentions of flying it

Is reserve coverage required for the non-overlap days that drop? Using SF's example, if I have a 2-5 July trip and I WS a 1-2 July trip. For that to go through do I require blue days on the 3-5th?

The company can't deny the prior month WS for any reason as long as it's within your pickup limit for the month the trip originates. Reserve coverage can be negative 20 and it does not matter. If you pick a trip up on the last day of the bid period since credit is accounted for at the end of the trip you might need as little as two hours of pickup available.

Ty. Makes sense for a carryout trip. If both trips begin in the same month then reserve coverage applies I assume?

Search the person's name, then use the number that pops up followed by a C for current schedule, or N for next month's schedule.

OK, talking about C/I and C/O over the transition is what you meant. Now that makes sense and yup July 4th always works and an early September labor day also works. That's a schedule enhancer, I thought the topic was pay enhancement for company dropped trips.

Is there a way to put known doctors appointments and/or your FAA physical into icrew or PBS, or do you just have to try your best to bid around these appointments and then deal with the aftermath?
