How do we trade res days off?

Thanks for the info BYW

Don't worry, you'll be senior someday.

Don't worry, you'll be junior someday.

You can request to MOVE X-days using PCS - under Schedules. You have to move them in such a way that the rules are not violated.

You can move x-days. I hope you're kidding. Reserve is tough enough as is. It's even worse if you didn't know you could manipulate your schedule. Go to PCS, leave requests, move reserve days. It let's you move groups of x-days. If you are senior to me, then disregard the above.

There are two buses that take you to the airport. One picks you up at the main entrance (in front of OC1). DO NOT TAKE this one, because it'll take you to the loooooooong way around the airport, stopping at Tech Ops and cargo, before going to the terminal building.

The other bus picks up in the parking lot in the back. If you walk past the museum, you'll see a fence with an opening and the bus stop. That bus runs more frequently and goes straight to the terminal building.
