It shows what the reserve pilots bid…must off vs prefer off. It shows how many days off Line holders got, and their credit. It shows vacations and training. It shows Line holders TAFB. In general it shows percentages of line holder reserve, MALV etc.

You can look at historical data. I look at old December awards every year to gauge how pilots bid and gauge what I can hold as an example (holiday pay has completely changed bidding behavior though). Otherwise I just look back a month or 2. It can help you manage expectations and also not waste layers bidding stuff you won’t get.
