Actually I specifically said GS, no assuming 
.
Here’s another, my FO got RR into a Golden day due to the power outage. She got a nice chunk of RR pay and a Pr worth about 21 hours. She had a YS in to be 1st to fly on RES days, and she got assigned a trip that signed in at 0945 on top of the Pr. That would’ve been too early on a standard RES day since it was the 1st after coming off a ** day, but it was a double whammy considering she wasn’t even on LC until 2100 or so.
She didn’t have any additional pay for that trip. Should she be given assignment pay for the entire trip or just day 1, or is there another answer? She’s on probation and is nervous about calling the company. I don’t think that’s something to worry about but don’t want to give bad advice.

If I am understanding this correctly if it was a reserve GS it would just be day 1 pay above the cap since it is a reserve call out less than 12 hours and she was indeed on call that day.
I am not sure if/how her yellow slipping will affect this.
No reason to not call scheduling or Pilot assist with a question - this has nothing to be with being on probation.

So I had a 1-day GS on Dec 31 (RES.)
No PB day on my JAN timecard (Lineholder.)
I’d like to use the PB day to maximum financial advantage.
I called CS, they told me to PD a trip and WS it back up. Then to call them and have the the first day of the trip made into the PB day. This all agrees with the SRH.
End result: I have a TOFF on the first day of the trip. My timecard has the trip as a WS with pay and credit. The next line says “TOFF” with the date of the first day of the trip but with no pay or credit listed.
Question: Does this appear correctly? Assuming I get paid twice for the first day of the trip, why does the timecard not reflect this?
Convoluted, I know, but any answer would be appreciated — especially the correct one.

It was 4:20. There's no pay/credit associated with the TOFF line. That's why I'm puzzled.

So, I could have left it as is and still WS'd a trip this week. Now I can't. Scoop will think that is a good thing, I'm not so sure.

Payback day question...
Can I drop a trip using a PB day and pick it back up in the same PCS run?
What is the order that the PCS run goes in?

PB days are converted to supplemental vacation days 1jan. You have until 31 March to use it as a pb day otherwise it is a vacation day tacked on to your vacation. To use it as a PB day you have to personal drop a trip then call scheduling to have the payback day applied to your schedule.

Last Jan when I tried they told me it must to be currently dropped & off your schedule when you call. Then you can WS back the next PCS cycle- if no one else WS in the meantime. Other times of year when the automated PB drop functionality works, I’d guess you could do drop/WS in same PCS run.
