Caddis,
This is how they told me to do it and it worked.
PCS > Leave Requests > Select Oct (if that is the month in question) > Move Reserve Off Days > Add/Update Leave Requests > pick the date to cancel > now you're ready.
There are 4 blocks to work with, start with the day(s) off you currently have and then what day(s) off you want. If you're only moving 1 day then it looks like this one below because you write the one date twice and the new date twice, e.g. 07 07 20 20, just like below.
If its 2 days then its 07 08 and 15 16. Then you can do multiple combinations just like bidding depending on how critical this is to you and if you desire it to have it go out on the first PCS run:

I see your point but hopefully the passengers will make enough of a fuss that this goes away. IMHO, we already have given up so many liberties because of terrorists that in some ways they have already won. Freedom is not really free if you give up all your liberties in the process.

If they are worried about concealed explosives, why don't we have dogs at the airports?

Won't it cost DAL revenue if less people fly because they don't want to go through these things? Not sure how many people would decide not to fly because of them .....

I know there is a run on sniffing dogs for Afghanistan, but it's not like they are a scarce resource. We can make more dogs. NYC cops in gear with dogs would be way more effective than the smurf nazis we have now.

If the TSA doesn't run off all our pax, Clark Howard will. I'm listening to him now singing his praises of AirTran/SWA, and what a great idea it is to drive to BHM from ATL to get into their network. He's absolutely giddy over these great deals!
I've never heard him bash another company the way he does to Delta.

These full body imaging machines and lame-duck pat down procedures are nothing more than government waste on the world's most expensive discrimination prevention devices.
We need security that focus in on suspicious behaviors early on in the process, as opposed to using a cookie-cutter approach to every single person boarding on an airplane.
While I agree with your statement to an extent, we have become so concerned with our freedoms and liberties, at times, we are so fearful to react in any way that could be identified as discriminatory.

Why aren't we using the easiest method first - PROFILE!! We subject average folks to the most demeaning searches because we don't want to appear to be discriminating.
The PC insanity has to stop. Call a spade a spade and search the folks who fit the profile. Frisk a couple of random folks but I'm pretty sure you can skip the little kids and the grandparents. The hot mothers of the kids however, are a different story!
