Flyjsh - today, we are at DOS +3, on December 1 we'll be at DOS +4. For pay, per diem, uniforms and PBS you have to look at the LOA23 which is what was signed during bankruptcy. Everything else, is intact and is found in the rest of the contract.

Cencal - bid packs come out the Thursday before the 14th of each month. It could be the first, it could be the second. Bidding starts at that time and closes the Monday morning after. That Friday PBS lines are published. That weekend you can request INV days (golden days) or PVD days (personal vacation days). On Tuesday, the schedules are published with those on them. They're loaded into crewtrac after the FAs are done with their bidding later in the month, but schedules are published within the PBS system and on mymesaba for viewing. With PBS we get our final schedules about a week earlier than we used to. People complain about PBS but IMO, it's not that bad. I wish we had our build-ups back, but we can't have everything right?

Higney - this isn't my first rodeo. I know how the process works.
