For the practice run, they took a "snap shot" of the inputs yesterday at noon MEM time. That's what is used for the "intermediate solution" (as they call it) which is what you're seeing today. The next time they run it will be for real, after the SWW closes Monday morning. If you changed something last night, it didn't get considered for the practice.

As far as the trips you got, that's more difficult to analyze. Where are you bidding in the secondary rank, did you only put in specific trips or mix criteria like trip types, days off, etc.

I agree this system is far from impressive. The amazing thing to me is how short sighted the company was on this. This was their chance to make the most amazing PBS system (disguised as our secondary system) in the industry. That's the only way they're ever going to get any traction in pushing PBS in future negotiations. Maybe our pilots on the working group let this become a fail for that very reason. Although, I suspect it was probably more the result of their inputs being ignored since the company was under no requirement to listen to them.
