As of the last bid cycle, PBS is officially out to pasture and Flexbid is the new system. The quarterly email and calling scheduling is no longer needed to get those longer rotations beyond 8 days.

Flexbid allows you to select any combination of rotations (6/5, 7/6, 8/7, 9/6, 10/8....etc) up to a max of 14/13 and then rank order them. I don't know if you can get anything beyond 14 days "on" at this point as I'm not even remotely interested in being on the road that long. You can also load your preferences and they will be the same every bid cycle until you make changes (aka fire and forget method of bidding...lol). They should cover all that during Indoc when they give the module on Tailwinds, since that is where your bid preferences and schedule reside now.

Welcome aboard!
