Also, when bidding reserve in PBS, do you bid all 12 or 13 days off or just a few crucial ones or layer your bid with all then down to crucial? One last question. When you bid in the "start reserve" group, do you do it with the "prefer off" option?
Just want to make sure I dont scr#w myself!!

Denny,
I usually start my reserve block (like I'm getting anything else) with prefer off. Since PBS has started I generally get what I want and then just move days around when PCS starts. But put in your hard core days you want and they'll build around it.
Good Luck. BTW I flew with 2 CAs last XMAS who bid reserve to get Chrstmas off, they got that day and flew every other around it (pre-PBS) both claimed they would never do it again. I didn't know if you were bidding reserve because of that or because you got bumped off a line.
