2. You can bid anyway you want, reserve, then a line, then back to reserve etc. Easiest reserve bid would be award reserve Monday to Friday (H++), Monday to Saturday (H+) , that would prioritize Monday to Friday (H means high priority then more pluses means you want those higher). Pbs is about filling buckets where you break down trips/reserve dates by priority and then it gives you what you can hold.
3. you can ask for days off either specific (date) or days of the week, or oppositely you can ask for the days you want to work. It’s not predetermined, that’s line bidding .
4. short call is 2 1/2 hours, anything earlier then that is you helping them. 2 1/2 is the contract.
To be fair, earlier than 2 hours report starts to get add pay.
